As the years-long #2 in the Finance and Admin part of my organization, I've been asked to submit my salary requirements for a role as Finance Director with a fast-track to Sr. Finance Director. I function as a Controller and head of HR for a company of ~70, I oversee a team of 2 accountants and an administrative assistant. I've been undercompensated for the last year and a half... is it nuts to ask for a 25% increase?

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
