I'm curious - what is the percentage increase people ask of recruiters? I generally ask for 15-20% and I'm finding that it's a bit high.

Ive seen a lot of companies with finance managers in India.. is this a growing trend?

I don’t ask for a % increase. I ask for what I’m worth in the market. I don’t tell recruiters what I make or what the proposed compensation would be above my current. It’s just not relevant.

smart

I dont give them a percentage. I give them a number. I use a percentage to calculate my number.
