Recently, I had the taste of industry life. Cool office, sweet benefits, less stress/fewer hours...then the final offer came in and it was just a 4% raise.

Looks like leaving PA will take awhile :(

Also look at the 401k and the health insurance. I took a 10% base salary raise that was really a 20% raise all things considered.

At the margins, the benefits were slightly better. Since I’m currently single the exorbitant costs of my firm’s health insurance was never going to be a factor.

Two things:

1. It’s a revenue recognition/technical accountant role, and

2. After speaking with some other recruiters, I found that I was leaving at least $6k on the table. Since I’d have to relocate for this role I want my initial salary in that market to be as high as possible to have better leverage when negotiating future salaries.

I’ve learned that too. Base salaries are not high enough to entice me. I think I outpriced myself out of industry job...

You should be getting at least 10% bump to leave PA. I would hang in there until a better opportunity comes.

I would say minimum 15% to leave PA. 25% is optimal

Why not ask for more $$$?

Countered with a 15% raise and they were having none of that at all. They initially started at no pay increase.

So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Hello Fishes,

What will be my in hand salary pm for the below salary structure. ?
