How early is too early to ask for a raise?
Hi there! Interviewing w/Amazon for a non-tech role (Associate Category Manager aka Associate Buyer) and was asked what my salary requirements are for base+bonus+equity. Can anyone share insight on what Amazonians make in this role. I have 4 YOE and glassdoor is not very helpful.
Any feedback is appreciated 🙏 Amazon
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

Don't assume that you've locked yourself in. They may have repeated your number simply because that was your suggestion. You can always tell them now that you're familiar with the job and all its responsibilities you'd be expecting more. And provide the number you now find reasonable.
Point to something - anything - that's come up during the course of interviews as justifying requesting more. Responsibilities you weren't initially aware of just by reading the job description and going through the first interview or something like that. You'll have a lot better chance of getting it approved that way than by referencing the local market rates.
