Anyone have any success negotiating salary without an offer in-hand (from another firm) or coming in as an experienced hire? If so, what level, % increase.

I managed, I'm a Senior, I thought I was below, spoke to a few partners, not just one, I was factual told them what a Senior with my education and experience in my town should be paid. Got a 50% raise. No joke, ha! But of course I'd had a great year, was super well rated, great reviews, etc.

Yes but ended up leaving anyway. Nothing more stressful than all those conversations and never felt more vulnerable in my career

I switched firms with a 10% increase at the same level. My partner at my old firm said I should've asked for a signing bonus.

I just spoke with a recruiter about this, and he said 10-25% is typical.

Oh oops. Just re-read.

I tried this too, but did not succeed because of our new cohorts model.

P2 re-read above "without an offer in hand".

No worries, I'm assuming if this ever does happen it's extremely rare. Maybe I'll look for another practice I "might" join...

Pwc3 WOE 👏
