How early is too early to ask for a raise?
Any work or use to work at Chartwells K12
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?

For me, I'd almost value cash in my hand over fringe benefits especially since in the case of health care, I really like my HSA with HDHP
That makes sense!
For me it’s kinda important. My company subsidizes insurance significantly so I only pay like $250 a month for all my insurance. If I moved to a new job and my insurance costs raised significantly to, say, $900 a month that’s $650 lost in my bank. I’d have to be making a significant pay raise to cover that difference.
Really good idea to make a spreadsheet. going to keep this in mind
I break down total compensation into a spreadsheet:
- Base pay
- Health insurance subsidy
- 401(k) match in actual dollar amount in current role
- WFH perks if applicable (internet subsidy, home office expenses, etc)
Healthcare subsidy is a tricky one, because one employer's 100% coverage may be less ideal than another employer's 50% coverage, if the insurance isn't good. The goal in the end though is still to quantify everything as much as possible in actual dollar amounts, not vibes. Shiny WFH perks don't mean much if I'm taking a pay cut, for example. Companies like those things because they are benefits—but don't add a lot to their liabilities, because in many cases employees don't take full advantage of them.
this is great, going to really look into these details and make a spreadsheet to calculate total comp and then maybe weigh a few of those harder to calculate fields based on importance to me.
