I thought the 'always ask for more money' advice was just noise until my manager in Denver said 'we have a 15k range for this role'

I was offered a job and almost took the first number, but I remembered that old tip and asked if there was any flexibility. The hiring manager straight up told me the salary band and I got an extra 8k. Has anyone else had a simple piece of common advice actually pay off big?

Honestly feels like that advice is way overhyped sometimes. Tbh, a lot of places just have a set budget and won't budge.

I mean, I'm over here still kicking myself for not asking at my last job, honestly.

So much advice gets repeated until it feels useless, but then you try it and it actually works. It's like people forget that asking a simple question is usually the lowest risk move you can make. The real trick is just not talking yourself out of trying it.
