Got an offer that's about 20% more than my current total comp. Was hoping for 30% but is 20% good?

Should I nego for midpoint 25%? I was thinking ask for 30% but if we end up at 25% then cool .

And then I'd ask for additional PTO or should I ask for additional PTO as an alternate to the 25%?

So many questions.....

Hard to say without real numbers and your background. 20% increase could be top of band, could be bottom

15-25% is range bound imo.

anything below 15 really just isn’t worth, especially if you life in california like i do.

15 would be bare minimum for me since that’s roughly what you could expect staying put and getting promoted. you probably need to love the opportunity for this though

20 is reasonable. i don’t think anyone would be upset at a 20% bump remaining where they are so assuming you like the opp it makes a lot of sense

i think we can agree most of us would be pretty happy with 25 remaining where we are so if it’s 25 to jump and you love the opp, then end of discussion.

25+ is just a steal at that point, but don’t get too excited bc it very well could also mean you’ve been getting underpaid for too long

asking for 30% if only you know what you make could work if you have leverage, but without leverage and you both know it’s a 30% additional you’re asking for you’re gonna seem like a giant tool bc there is no way comp expectations weren’t set at initial discussions. failure on both of you if that’s the case.

thanks for coming to my ted talk

I would focus more on your value in the marketplace, rather than an arbitrary % increase.

Agree with this OP. Focus on the value you deliver, your market analysis and rise in costs. Based on those three components you tell HR you’ll be more comfortable acceptance an offer closer to XZY. Shoot for 30% and see what they come back with.

Why not go all in and ask for 50% more while you are at it.

right. lol. some people man.

TC today is 200k so looking at TC $240k and change.
I'll be asking for title bump & PTO as well but those are the top 3.
Thanks for the input - I'll ask for the 30% and see where we land, worst case, they give me title and PTO, I'd still take the offer....money's where it's at.

Amazon is stingy on base. Try to get the bonus and RSU’s higher. That’s where I saw the most significant bumps. They offered me 242K and I jumped to 265K with 5K on base, 50 more RSUs and 24K more on bonus (16 in year 1, 9 in year 2)

to add - I'm M with 16 yoe consulting in Techdev, MBA non T50

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
