How early is too early to ask for a raise?
Hi there! Interviewing w/Amazon for a non-tech role (Associate Category Manager aka Associate Buyer) and was asked what my salary requirements are for base+bonus+equity. Can anyone share insight on what Amazonians make in this role. I have 4 YOE and glassdoor is not very helpful.
Any feedback is appreciated 🙏 Amazon
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

If I really need a new job, I don't let a bonus stop me. I'd rather miss out on a few thousand dollars than a better opportunity for my career.

You have 2 options. Either negotiate start date of the new job or negotiate a sign on bonus to offset the loss of the bonus.
That’s the truth. You’ll constantly put off leaving because a bonus is coming. Try to make it work for you and see what happens.
I have. I ended up having to forfeit the bonus because it wasn't due to be paid out until a few months after my slated start date. Used it as leverage during negotiating to end up getting almost the full amount as a sign-on bonus. Still didn't like leaving any money on the table, but the sign on + salary increase made it worth doing.
Yes. I waited till check in hand.
