How much of a salary bump would you ask for when you move to a new agency? (Same title) My recruiter is now willing to only give me a 5K bump...

If it’s not-life changing money, it should be life-changing work. Otherwise why are you making any move?

There you go! As long as you’re positive that that’s what you’re moving to, then they money is whatever.

You’ll increase your value more than 5k when you get that mentor ship and start kicking tons of ass. Just be sure as you can about the agency you’re going to—if they’re good and have someone worth mentoring you, they have the work to prove it. If they don’t have the work to prove it, they’re lying to you.

You might be out of luck. In many cities, asking for your previous salary is now illegal. Next time, lie. They cannot legally audit bank records, they can only verify you were there.

They didn’t ask for my current salary. They just kept lowering the salary I ask for

Well, that’s not up to your recruiter because they work for you. Ask for what you want/think you deserve, and if your recruiter has a problem with it, get a new recruiter.

If they’re not willing to pay you what you’re worth now, they never will. Tell them to beat it.

Where are you within your band? If you’re in the bottom half, aim for the top half. If you’re already at/near the top, yeah there’s probably not much movement

To clarify, my recruiter as in a recruiter in another agency I’m currently talking to

$10K to even consider. $20K decent jump. $30K lifestyle change.

It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
