Depends how much you like ur current job. I’d leave for less

Nice to hear you’re in a good work situation!

I don't have a formula for this because there are so many more factors to consider other than salary. If the move is a job I think I would like just as much as my current job, then I wouldn't consider anything under 10%. Currently, I hate my job, and would be willing to take a small pay cut for position with a better work life balance.

Personally I’d say at least 15% (assuming original salary is £60k up) if it was like £20-40k I’d say much more.

like

That’s a decent percentage, I think since I’m on shy of 30k I’d probably go for a bit more.

10-15%

Seems to be the consistent answer!

15% if all benefits are equal. 10% if the new job offers better.

Good way to sort that out, I guess sometimes the benefits can sometimes be worse too for much more pay.

20% at the minimum for me

I loke that hard line!

Completely depends on where you’re at in your career and how much you enjoy your job.

Making 150k at 30 and love your job? Prob would need 75k to jump.

Making 50k at 23 and hate your job? Would jump for 5k more.

True I guess job enjoyment would make a difference, the money is starting to be more of an important factor now too.

Why are you looking? Miserable where you are at? A pay cut may be worth it. Happy where you are and see a future, it may be 50% or more. Just looking for something better, even 5% may be worth it.

Then if you’re happy, what would motivate you to change jobs?

15-20%

Probably 10%

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
