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?

10%, with the knowledge that upwards mobility exists and I won’t be frozen at 0% pay increase YoY..

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.
