I start with a 50% hike request while negotiating, it might fluctuate as well. The lowest hike i ever accepted was 42% and highest was 75%
My strategies are simple:
1. Make sure you are not easily replaced. So gain good exposure and update skills every 6 months
2. Do market research about the target firm, position offered and potential salary range
3. Talk to people via LinkedIn or fishbowl who worked/ are working in the same designation in the same organisation
4. Compare your skills and their skills and experience. Because someone else is getting so i should also get, is not a good logic. That's called jealousy
5. While changing location compare the cost of living between the two cities to make sure you are in a good position. Thumbrule is hike% plus additional expenses because of location wise fixed cost increament. You can directly talk to the recruiter about this, and it is a valid talking point
6. Don't negotiate on a single number. Try joining bonus + fixed component + performance bonus + retention bonus + stocks + free food + cab allowance + internet reimbursement .... You get the picture. Not everything is applicable, not everything will be given
7. Lastly, have some balls. Know when to stand your ground. Learn to modulate your voice. Learn to use sarcasm at a negotiation table. Speak with numbers. No need to dominate others, be respectful.
