So I’m actively looking for a job coming from Target making $15 and was about to hit March which would’ve been my pay increase. Looking for full time and have a few different offers. Two of which are cashiers at dealerships, I was considering asking for $18 but I don’t know if that’s too high. What would you say is a reasonable hourly pay to ask for and how do you recommend I negotiate. DFW in Texas for reference.

If you don’t ask, the answer will always be no. Go for it and the worst thing they can say is no and you can negotiate.

Nearly every company is hiring right now. You have leverage. Definitely ask for more than $15.

Just worried that I may reach a little too far and get turned away, is there a reasonable number to stick with?

What’s wrong with going for $18? A reasonable number to stick with would be $15 since you have already gotten it.

Update: I got $17

Let’s go!!! That’s awesome!

Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
