What is an acceptable pay increase to ask for when applying internally to a different department but it’s a level up from current role.

Over the past 6 months I’ve been telling outside recruiters my salary expectations is 25% above what I actually make. No one has even flinched. A 25% raise would also put me just under the midpoint for the posted salary range. They have several open positions on the team they’ve been struggling to fill.

I don't think there is any reason to sell yourself short because you're staying at the same firm.

If anything, you come in ready to hit the ground running with the firm's specific processes and have a proven track record of fitting into firm culture.

I'd even be tempted to ask for 33% increase, and let them talk you down.
