How much percentage of bump from your current CTC can you realistically ask for when you're shifting to a new company ?

I think it all depends on how much experience you have, but if it were me I'd need to get at least a 15 percent hike in pay to make it worth switching companies. No point in making a lateral move when trying to advance your career unless you really hate the company you're at, in my opinion ;)

20-25%, or 30% if you can get it is a great bump!

I would try for a minimum of 20%.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

I'm curious what my expectations should be for a base salary for an HR Generalist position at a plastics injection manufacturer. They are approximately 355+ employees with 4 plants.

In my 5 interviews I have had so far, salary has not been mentioned once. What do you think I should expect if offered?
