What do you say when a recruiter asks for your salary? I usually increase it by 10k. Is that too much?

Best answer is “that’s something I only tell my accountant. But for this role I think x is fair/what’s your budget” also note in places like NY they can’t ask anymore

👆NYC had the same law. They can't ask you for your salary.

What you want to make + 10 or 15% so you have room to negotiate

Yep in California they can’t ask anymore either.

I typically ask them what band they’re looking at first, makes them play their cards.

From there, I’ll say something to the effect of, “based where I’m currently at @ X Agency, what I’d like to be out is Y amount based on the market”

No one can ask for your salary but can ask for the range you are looking for .

Hi All, I recently got an offer from google. For the compensation, the recruiter had not come up with an offer and had repeatedly asked me for an estimate during compensation call. They matched the number that I gave her ($260k) based on my market research. Base is at $151k, 15%bonus , $261k/4 years. This is L4 PgM. Any negotiation ideas to bump up the base? Should I ask her or will it sound too greedy?

I work for a biotech in Cambridge, MA, I’ve been with this company growing out the general ops team for almost 3 years. I was making 78k as the senior operations associate. I just was promoted to Operations Manager and was offered a salary increase to 85k. Based off of my research this is very low based on comps and the economy. Anyone have any tips on how I should approach a negotiation to ask for more? Median salaries for my type of role are between 100-120.

So with 60 days Military PTO, a pretty healthy vacation policy, good benefits overall and from what I am perceiving as a pretty damn good career path, almost like an Army officer career path, is this consulting career actually a pretty good gig? I mean, it seems like you can do just about whatever you want in Accenture, even if “consulting,” isn’t the path you want to go down long term. Are these people wining about comp, hours, and projects, just clueless to what the real world is like, and how much Military hours and “projects” can be? I don’t know I just feel like this is like the civilian equivalent to the Military, and not in a bad way, thoughts?
