Looking to leave public for industry for a financial reporting role. I have never negotiated salary before and looking for advice on how to do so. I’m looking to get a $5k salary increase. I don’t want to come across as unappreciative or pushy, but I would like to get a pay bump coming out of public. The salary they offered is the salary I’m currently making.

If youre using chat gpt to ask for a salary increase, you don’t deserve one

Just be patient and intentional. If you’re accepting such a small pay raise, you better be getting something damn good in return. RSU’s or a great bonus plan for example. keep in mind that when you switch jobs you’re usually missing out on a pay raise cycle and a bonus payout. If you are absolutely miserable then maybe that’s another story but I would stick it out until it’s worth your while.

Keep applying and interviewing elsewhere. Are you a CPA?

I think you can leave and get a decent bump. Whenever people off the same or lower than what I make I just tell them that I am not looking to take a payouts cut as I am the provider for my family and that since we aren't aligned on comp then we should end the process now. Every time the interviewer has raised the comp so that I would continue through their interview process. So if you are rationale and give them an honest expectation, I think they will meet you where you want them to.

I left public a year ago and was able to negotiate a 10k bump in my base salary not including bonuses
