I work at a mid tier firm in an audit group of ~20 people. We’ve recently had two seniors and a manager leave, and I just found out another senior with a ton of big jobs is leaving in three weeks. I also just found out I’m being promoted to senior with a raise of 10%. In light of all these departures though, I kind of want to ask for more.... should I? And what % raise is appropriate? Any insight appreciated!

I don’t think you had negotiation power here. You need to have a competing offer in hand

I recently got promoted to senior and got less than that and it’s non-negotiable. Good luck.

I don’t think you really negotiate and the senior level. Your only realistic option is to leave if you want higher pay.

Please don’t listen to big4 advice. Mid tier firms are run much differently (I know because I’ve worked at both). You should absolutely ask for more. You might not get it but if they can’t risk losing you then you have a very good shot. Worst case scenario they say no and you are right where you are now.

I’d take the raise. But, a bigger concern I’d have if I was in your position is the risk of being overworked. Unfortunately, it’s a lot harder to replace seniors and managers than it is staff.

They’re not going to pay you extra just because they are all of a sudden a little short staffed.

Are you going to start working 60 hour weeks while successfully filing the role that the former manager and staff had? If so, you have an argument for more money. But it seems like you want more just because they might be afraid to lose more people.
