Worst tip is to ask for more than they offered and then less than six months later ask for more

like

Be transparent and ask for what you need and stick to it. If they offer you that or more then take it, if they low ball you, reiterate what you need to accept or just don’t accept it

Make sure to understand the whole benefits package as well. I was approached by a company for $20k more than my current salary, but medical premiums and Out of pocket were so much higher (my son has a heart defect so medical bills are always expected in our house). So even though salary was higher at face value, when I considered the benefits I would’ve been practically at the same I am now.

Start high

An optimal path is to aggregate a group of superior producers either in an asset focus or a style focus w some margin for drift, go in and pitch and secure mega bank net cap risk allocation for sales trade book. Form grp w experience and 200mil legacy gross and invert the process where bank will pitch to come in at premium pay pkgs

Currently I make a base of $63k/yr and $1k/mo in bonuses pre-tax. I manage a performance for a team of licensed insurance agents (service-based role in a direct business environment), maintain our business relationships, and support adhoc training needs. Is there anyone else in this type of role who is able to share how this compares to similar positions and your general location?

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.

Hi fishes,
I am planning a switch so was going through some salary data for a software engineer. My ex-senior manager recommended me a website:
Growceed.com which helped me a lot in getting clarification about a lot of things but I am in doubt whether the average salaries of software engineer mentioned on Growceed.com really that much in top MNC companies.
