Just got a 14% raise and have an screening interview with KPMG today for a job I'm very interested in. When they ask about salary expectations, should I add a 15% bump to my current pay or new pay?

They wont ask about expectations, they'll ask what you actually make. I'd give them the new number. And make them offer you more than that.

You should base line your request off your current salary which includes the 14% raise. Does not matter if you have only gotten one paycheck from that base. Your current salary is the salary that includes your 14%.

They have to offer on top of your new salary . Anything less than that is not worth the effort. Be thick skinned and ask for more. If they can't pay its not worth it. Nobody is doing a favor

Add bump to new number. Worst case scenario they counter offer lower and you end up at your new pay anyway

Do not lie though. Just give them the base....new salary is 80k for example

Yes. But it all depends on alignment practice etc and how are you working with. But I am also changing soon. Ha ha. (I was lowballed on salary when I joined first. I need to correct that. )

EY1 I hope so! That will leave room for negotiation without scaring them off

It's just a screening interview, so I don't want them to screen me out because my number was too high

Based on the screening interviews I've done, the most likely won't ask you your desired salary..just current (so tell the new salary your firm is offering you). If they do ask you your target salary, tell them the new salary plus a 15% bump. If it's too high they will tell you that and will suggest another position or you could say you're willing to take a lower pay

On that note KPMG 1, you like working there?

Considering leaving to take a partner position at a small firm. Is it worth it? Would only be 2 partners with a staff of 10. Comp would be 250k on the low end and probably top out around 350k. Would take 3-4 years to get to this level of comp as would be buying 10% per year up to 40% of the firm. Am I stupid for not taking this? Currently manager making 125k. Comp first year as junior partner would be 120k with 10% ownership.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
