Does anyone else look back at old offers and wish they negotiated harder? Feels like even a small bump early on would’ve compounded over time.

I wouldn’t beat yourself up too much. At least at KPMG, they look at the dollar amount of your salary, not the percentage raise. So if you come in with a higher salary, your yearly raises for the next couple years will be lower. I’d imagine most companies are similar, even though raises are often expressed as a percent.

Many firms try to stay ballpark with the market. Even if you get an initial bump they may give you lesser raises later to get you more inline with the market.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
