Best advice for negotiating the salary you want — when you’re hoping for 10K or a 10-15% jump from your last salary? Interviewing at a smaller shop but they have lots of business.

Thanks for the advice! First timer with negotiations.

Make sure the number you're asking for lines up with the going market rate, then add 10k and tell them your number. My advice would be to aim closer to 25-30% higher if you're jumping agencies. That's assuming, of course, you've been in your current role without a raise or promotion for a couple years like 98% of everyone else. Good chance you're worth more than you think.

Yeah don’t take a whole new job for only a 10% raise unless your current situation is very dire.

like

If you’re on the inside:
10-20%

If you’re hopping:
20-30% standard

More, if there’s a big jump in role and responsibility.

Hello I'm a consultant at EY and I'm looking for a remote job at Dell, I was wondering if anyone could give me a referral

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
