I would like to ask for a 12k increase in salary in negotiating an offer I recently received from another company. If they accepted my counter, this would be a 44% increase from my current salary, but the benefits are worse compared to my current company. Even if they meet me somewhere in between what I ask for, I’d likely be at the top of the pay range for my level/position/experience. Any advice for shooting for the stars like this?

Once you start to feel uncomfortable with the number you’re asking for, ADD 5% to it and ask for it. That’s been my rule of thumb as least.

If you’re a top performer, interviewed well, got the offer, tell them you’re excited they chose to extend an offer - but you were expecting to be a little higher on the base pay, and would like to counter their offer by asking for X+$12k.

Your post is difficult to understand. Can you outline exactly how many companies are at play here and what salary you’re trying to negotiate, new company’s or current employers?

Got it. In that case you need to ask for $20k and hope they meet you in the middle. You can use the benefits as one reason. They don’t know what you make now.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

If you get offer but everything you negotiate: base salary, bonus, more WFH days in hybrid model, etc. they say no, do you still accept? Leaves bad taste in my mouth. Offer isn’t paying more than current but higher title and getting the experience will better position me. Research shows base salary is $2k less than market but total comp is $34k less than market. I’m okay with hybrid but rather it be 2 days in office vs 3 days (initial phone interview said 2 days in office).
