How big of a salary increase would it take for you to switch jobs?
For me, it could be the same salary or better. I once aimed for at least a 20-25% increase, but that feels harder to find these days.

I would say 30–40%, which is rare and usually reflects a big jump in level or responsibilities. Suffice to say, I’m happy where I am and wouldn’t move unless it was a huge jump. Would anyone say current circumstances impact that number a lot?

I definitely want to feel like it’s worth it. I’d rather one big move than 4-5 smaller moves.

For me, it would definitely need to be at least 20% for me to consider switching jobs—and honestly, probably closer to 25%. Switching jobs and learning a new company and role is tough, and I’m happy where I am.

I hear you on the 20-25% threshold. Switching roles is a significant investment of energy, so the increase should genuinely offset the learning curve and risk.

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
