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.

Definitely state that you are currently making that then provide reasons as to why you deserve a $5K salary increase. Show your value with facts, it's hard to argue with proven value.

I would negotiate even higher than 5k more, as much people can negotiate a 10-15% increase from their current salaries when they're moving companies. Don't sell yourself short! Use market data and your personal experience/projected impact to advocate for yourself

I still have a lot to learn in negotiating, so far I’m trying to approach it with a collaborative mindset. Is there flexibility in the base? Telling them, I’m hoping we can get closer to x range, and letting them take it from there. Best of luck!

Do you have an offer?
