Got an offer from b4 for a lateral move. The offer was only 7% more than my base with no sign on bonus. I told the recruiter I thought the base was a little low because we have salary raises and bonuses coming eff July and am on target for 10% raise and 10% bonus. What should my counter offer be?
I was thinking a 15% salary raise and a 7% sign on bonus would be fair?

Ask for the comp that will make you happy. Settle for the second best number that will make you happy if the first ask doesn't work.

If really depends on what your current salary is. If you're a manager making 175k, I doubt any big4 is gonna offer you much more (or even the same pay) if you're coming in as a manager. Even level has a pay band and whatever they offer will always be within that band.

Agree...your ask is reasonable. Problem is when you are at high end of your level. Like a senior manager making $250k will find difficulty getting to $280k.

Go into job interviews with a number in mind, and don’t let recruiters anchor the number low. I’ve made two jumps in PA, one was for a 48% bump and another for a 39% bump. I would not leave one firm for another unless it’s a 30%+ bump.

Thanks 🐠

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
