Looking for ideas or suggestions please, thank you in an advance. I'm currently looking for a new job. My previous one, I was making 48K. If asked during an interview about pay, I'm thinking of asking for 50K to 52K, is this reasonable 🤔?

On the surface...8% increase is not terrible, but really it depends on the job, cost of living for the area, and industry. Let alone the sheer competition for jobs right now is heavily in the favor of employers. They don't need to pay top dollar for talent when so many people are looking for work.

That amount is good, IMO. It is common to ask for more since you have more experience now as compared to what you are making. Give a range though. Don't sell yourself short. Ask for that amount and if they say the range is lower tell them that the amount they are hiring at is OK (during the interview) but it will depend on the total benefit package (base, bonus, PTO time, benefits, etc). However, if the company is somewhere you want to be, then sometimes you have to do a lateral just to get your foot in the door. So, my comment is a long response and might expand beyond you question, but that salary ask is not crazy. Go for it! Good luck.
