[quote=Anonymous]Applied for a job at a university where the range posted is 90-170k and median is 135 ish. I understand that I wouldn't come in at the top--many people stay on forever--but the HR person I talked to (I'm a finalist this is a screening) said that it would really be starting in the 90s or low 100s. Its a little annoying that they would post a huge range, but not be able to go over the bottom 15 percent. Is this typical? I don't know how these ranges work, if there's years of service, etc, but right now I make 96k and with my next step increase I'd be making a bit more and I'd be moving to Cambridge area, which is a slightly higher COL. I also have about 4 years more than the minimum 8 required for this position. Trying to figure out whether I can negotiate more, whether its worth it, etc. Ultimately the top of the range is higher than what I'd be making here in federal service, even if I did get promoted, in a few years, to GS 14.
