Hey everybody,

Senior SWE here, 14 years of experience, working for a medium-ish sized company in the coastal VA area. The development team is extremely small and greatly overburdened. In my last review I asked for 135k trying to highball but they gave me 117k, up from 105k. Do y’all think I was expecting too much, or is it time to peace out?

Thanks!

I asked for the same amount at 120 and they only gave me 124. 10yoe. You got a good bump but they definitely are banking on you not pushing for what you asked. And with your experience, they should have just gave you what you asked.

If you get a bonus, then that's better too. Also look at company 401k match. I think you should have got the whole ask but they might be accounting for that

Thanks for your response! No bonuses here and the 401K match is like 3% so nothing extraordinary.

That’s a good bump in salary. Most times you only get 3-7%.

Yeah, it was a nice increase that I’d normally be very pleased to receive. I was just asking high to try to “catch up” to averages, especially when they are advertising new senior positions around 115-130. Thanks!

Hi all - this is my first post here and would love your input. I have several open positions in my org and find that the salaries are all over the place. I have PM's (PM1) with 3 years experience asking for 110K - is that accurate with that you are seeing? Additionally BA's with the same level of experience asking for 130K. Seems really high for people with seeming little experience. Please let me know what you think.
