It can be spot on or high depending on where you fall in the payband. Although if you're high on the pay band and that limits the pay bump push for a higher sign on bonus- typically more leeway there.

Do you have a sense of where you are in your current salary band? Typically outside hires get brought in into the upper part of the salary band so depends where you’re coming from.

I think I’m close to the middle based on my comp discussion this past fall.

You generally lose a review cycle when switching jobs so it needs to be the equivalent of two raises just to break even.

They did say I will be eligible for a raise in the next cycle (in August).

150%. Go big or go home.

Actual answer- probably 20-30% depending on what kind of bonuses/raises you’d be forfeiting or getting reduced. If you’re eligible for a raise in August, see if it’d be a full raise or if it’d be prorated based on dates of service.

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!
