I’m in my mid-twenties and about to talk pay for a new role. In real terms, what kind of percentage bump can someone usually negotiate? And what are the top factors affecting this, so that I can do my research? Industry? Level of the role? I still feel like I'm missing a piece or two, because the recruiters really seem many steps ahead of me. LOL

Find the salary ranges for your position and your experience level in your area. Use job ads and Glassdoor for this. That will give you an idea if the offer is on the low-end of the range and how much room you will have to negotiate. Keep in mind though that companies don't need to be competitive with their salaries for most positions because there are so many great candidates looking for work right now. Avoid pushing too hard and negotiating your way out of a job offer.

Excellent advice; thank you.

Come in with research. I would look for your industry market comps and pair it with the value you bring in. You can negotiate 15-25%.
