Re: Salary must be fair?

This is good advice. Ask directly who will report to you and get it in the job description. More people management (especially highly skilled workers means more responsibility and usually more money and status).

If its a commercial and technical job, then I would expect such a role to command somewhere in the 160-180 range. Much less than that then why have the agro ?

I think you (and frankly your employers too) need to be crystal clear about i) where you fit in the org chart ii) what precisely the job description is. This is way too vague for anyone, let alone a 45 year old at this sort of salary level and who presumably sees this as an important career step following a career change, and not just a springboard to CH.

I remember reading once, its a very good technique to ask the employer the salary range for the job. Then make sure you end up at least at the top of it. If that means asking for more that their range then so-be-it. Its a game. There's no point in offering the employer a range to choose from..

If you are going to ask for "165-170" (which BTW sounds more sensible), save your breath and just say 165. If you mean 170 say it.
