What do you consider to be a salary increase worth switching companies? I got an offer once that was a 3% increase and I turned it down, just wasn’t worth the hassle

That’s enough just for inflation! I would only take probably a 25-50% increase personally.

Turning that down makes sense, 3% doesn't seem worth the hassle of having to learn a lot of new names and new lunch places and all that. I would only accept that if there was something significant about the other organization that I really found attractive. But just by the numbers a 3% raise is pretty much what you get for just phoning it in somewhere. I think I'd need to hear at least 20%.

10% at a minimum unless I'm hellbent on getting away from my current employer. Otherwise it's not worth the hassle of leaving. No point in adding a lot of chaos into my life for the same % increase I'll end up getting during my performance review.

Understand that! Unless there were a lot of other factors at play, like me actively and desperately needing to leave, I’d be around 20% to seriously consider.

Yeah 3% is not enough. Honestly it depends so much. I received an offer once that was a 40% jump but I didn’t like the compensation break down (it was sales).

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.

Stocks offered, unlimited PTO, and 70% Medical covered. Offer B. Is at a business much larger…90k salary with 10% bonus and generous stock offering. Titles are different which is why the pay is much different.
