Are salary negotiations for a new job or your existing job generally easier? I feel like new job is easier for me personally!

New job for sure. You have more leverage and a much better likelihood of getting what you ask for than you do negotiating with your current employer. It's hard to get them to really budge when they hold all the cards.

Fair! Agree

They're easier for those who are underpaid. For people already in a good range, HRs generally try to low ball

Very fair

New job. Only can get a significant raise with a promotion in a lot of cases. Sometimes it’s actually better to leave and come back than to try to negotiate up at the same company.

Honestly so true I would rather leave and renegotiate

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low).

How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
