Ask for 15k

Instead of just a number come armed with how much revenue or media spend you oversaw or brought in for the company last year. Be able to point to specific wins and average compensation in industry. Can you ask for a higher base pay as well as bonus?

Good luck. Report back. I’m with her 👆🏼

....bonus? 🥺

Ask for $12k and see what they say. That way you’ll walk away with about as much cash in hand as your whole bonus last year (after taxes)

If you ask for 12 you’ll get 10. Ask for 15 and mention the 2x work. You’ll maybe get the 12 then.

Is getting 12-15% of your bonus normal?? Are people getting in that neighborhood? Seems high, no?

This is super helpful. TY! Will let you know where I net out

We need to grow quickly to keep up with client work. We hired 4 attorneys since Jan 1. 3 newbies and 1 senior associate with nearly as much experience as the partners.

Seeking advice. My company was acquired and the new CEO (white, cis gender) is a fragile misogynist. He's an old-school marketer and it's like having your dad in a meeting explaining (continued..)

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
