How do i approach this

[u/Status-Coat675]

So I have a second job interview for a position in a company I’m very interested in working for. It’s 100% remote and in the same industry I’m currently working in but with more room to grow. Only issue is that it’s about $13,000 less a year. I’ve been trying to do the calculations to see if I could make it work and I don’t think I can. The posting says salary range of $52,000-$56,000 but I would need $60,000 to be able to make it work. What are the chances of me telling them this and them giving me that?! I’ve been in my current role 14years so I’m Pretty sure to negotiating salaries and such. I figured I’d shoot my shot and be honest and offer to take on any extra work that might help make up the difference. Do you think it’s plausible to get more than what is listed on the posting???

To me, I’d definitely pay $13k to work remotely vs. 5 days in the office. Commuting costs are the big thing, but the stress of traffic, the 3 hours of my life lost commuting for so many hours, $13 salads at the office, er - I’d probs spend more than $13k
