Good Morning! Question for you guys?! How do you counter offer a yearly 3% raise when you feel you should ask for more than the standard? Any ideas or verbiage?

First of all, the cost of living has gone up WAY more than 3%, so that raise isn't even a raise at all. You're still losing money. That would be one point. And to drive it home, I'd put something together to quantify the impact I have on the company. Something to prove you're worth investing in. And then I make a compelling argument. I'm sorry, but 3% is unacceptable in this day and age.

I think you're on the right path for sure - it's just about explaining market conditions and connecting it back to the impact you've made at the org

I usually cite cost of living + my achievements - it's like a double whammy type situation and that helps. Also go for higher like 5% so that they drop down to what you actually want

Market assessment helps, pull what other nurses comparable to you are making in the same region/facility type

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions. How bad is it for me to accept and then decline if I get another offer? The other companies would be paying 15-30k more and I feel like that's way too much to give up especially right out of school. I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
