Lololol wouldn’t you get that bump from a yearly increase anyways? Why are you only trying to jump 5%

Should I negotiate higher? I think the higher end of the salary band is 100K lol, just trying to get as much as I can before I sign

If you're at 95,jumping for 100 is laughably low. Minimum bump should be 10% although 20+% is more normal at that salary level. I would ask for 115 and settle for 105-110.

1. Do your research to determine your market value. This will make you more confident when making the ask for the higher number.
2. Practice the ask out loud in the mirror until you start to sound confident. You can also practice saying it to your friends, just to sense how you feel and then adjust your energy accordingly.
3. Confidently ask and state genuine reasons for why you deserve it.

Good point. But from this app, it seems like the only way Deloitte budges is with counter offer

You’d be jumping for this? That’s dumb. When I was looking to jump I asked for $120k when I was making $73k. Got 2 offers at $115k and current firm also matched those. Aim higher.

Do you have an offer for 95 and you’re asking how to negotiate that up to 100?

Or are you saying something else?
