I have a final round tomorrow and I know the offer is coming. My ask is going to be $20k above what they've signaled is the range. I've done my research and I think I can justify it but I'm terrified....

I've had 3 interviews and still have no salary range. The recruiter keeps emphasizing how much the company values transparency, but they won't disclose the compensation until the fifth round. 🤷 I fee...
