Remote pay bands are wider than local ones because the employer is comparing candidates across many markets. That width is negotiable space.
Anchor on the role, not your history
"Based on what I have seen for senior support leads with this scope, I was expecting 68 to 75" is defensible. "I currently earn X so I want X plus 20%" invites them to anchor on your old salary.
Ask once, specifically
One clear counter with a number and a reason beats three rounds of hedging. Employers expect a single counter and usually have room for it.
Negotiate the non-salary items too
Equipment budget, learning allowance, extra leave, a defined review date at six months. These are often easier to grant than base pay and compound over time.
Common questions
Should I give my current salary?
Avoid it where you legally can. Redirect to the range you are targeting for this role.
Can you negotiate a remote job offer?
Yes, and remote ranges are usually wider than local ones. One specific, reasoned counter is standard and expected.
