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.

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.
