I just accept an offer for a 60% increase in base, WFH, previous student loan repayment (up to a certain amount), 28k a year towards further education, and insane retirement matching (I contribute 3,800 a year, the company contributes 12,800 a year for the basic tier of contribution, there’s higher levels as well).

Hey there, saw you’re OSI. I recently sent in my application and had a few interviews with some agents. Was wondering if you had some pointers or lessons learned you wish you had going into it?

20% minimum

I'm aiming for 10-20% increase. I've been a fed for 10+ years. I would take the lower end if there's lots of opportunity for growth or amazing benefits at the job. I'm targeting tech jobs, which often have base pay with a bonus and various stipends. I'd be fine with 10% if there are bonuses paid out, full health insurance coverage or a 4 day work week. If the structure and benefits are the same as my current job, I would want 20% min. Depending on your industry, it's not always about the base pay. There are so many other perks that can be taken into account.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Base pay is great, but things like tuition coverage/reimbursement, quality of life, retirement matching, etc are very important

35% min + learning / growth potential + WFH flexibility. covered health + public student loan forgiveness (deferred but counting toward payment) + OT compensated time adds up. It’s tough to navigate the trade offs.

I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?

I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.

Any Advice?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
