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.

Have people received inflationary raises? My dad received a letter stating that they’re giving him a 6.5% raise + a one time lump sum of $750 bc of inflation, retroactive to July 1st.

But I feel like a lot of companies have done this without having their employees ask?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected.

This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
