yeah recruiters will do that because they just want you to accept so they get paid. I would definitely hold out for more money

If it’s not between 20-30%, it’s not worth IMO

Left same as you. With one year as senior and no CPA. I got 40% raise.

Ah okay. I got an offer for essentially 17% raise, and the recruiter I'm talking to said that the base salary offered is considered "above my level". So am I being lowballed by my recruiter to try to get me to accept?

I would aim for at least 25%. It’s going to depend on what city you’re in and what industry you are going into

Thanks everyone, this is helpful!

Tell the next recruiter you make $12-15k more than you actually do. Then it's easier to get the raise you want.
