I'm just not seeing the 30% increase in salary on job listings. Where are you finding these jobs? Any recommendations?

Agree, the most I’ve seen was 10-15% including annual bonus.

You just have to negotiate

I think recruiters get a flat fee for placing you and not necessarily a percentage of your salary. So they don’t really have any motivation to get you higher than 10-15%. I would just find something on your own

Non b4, I left as senior. My raise was 8%

I left as first year senior at a big 4. Got a 30% raise

I left before this current busy season. I waited until I got my promotion and bonus. I would definitely wait until you reach senior at least IMO. Especially after the raise because then the jump will be higher

I talked to one recruiter that mentioned he would be getting paid 25k for filling a role. In my mind that is basically added into your cost as a job candidate, only you don't get to keep any of it.

I also heard recruiters keep 20% of your first year salary.

If that’s true and it’s percentage based then I don’t know why they don’t negotiate for a higher salary on your behalf. The recruiters I had were more interested in just placing me somewhere than getting me the best salary that I could get.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

When I was managing consulting projects, I told my teams that they should feel free to communicate with me if they had any issues or concerns. However, I also wanted their ideas about what they would do to solve the issue they are raising.

Situations can get "extreme," or small issues may arise when you are in the heat of the moment trying to accomplish your goals. That's normal.

But to change the pattern and prevent Burnout, you need to communicate with an action.

If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!
