Hello Fishers, need your help to finalize my decision.
I have 5 YOE and I have done a full-time MBA. I am currently working with one of the product organizations as a business analyst. TIAA offering 17 LPA Fixed (Including PF) against 1 counter offer I had of 15.6 LPA Fixed.
My CCTC is 9.35 LPA so should I ask for more here? Also, how are work culture and policies considering I will be part of the BA profile?

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.
That’s a decent percentage, I think since I’m on shy of 30k I’d probably go for a bit more.
a job can't just be all about money. I just moved out of a good job to a horrible job due to chasing the almighty buck. It was so so toxic https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/26/ottawa-canada-employee-survey-00527036 it had all these games and more https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2023/07/12/watch-out-for-love-bombing-gaslighting-and-breadcrumbing-in-the-workplace/ they would pull you in lovebomb then devalue you (gaslight, shame/blame/guilt) then discard you... next victim. Claiming they had a retention problem when they really had a toxicity problem. The CIO held the whole place hostage keeping everything so old and broken nothing got fixed yet the mindless politicians keep throwing money at the mess as many milked the mess was the game played. So be very very careful leaving only for money. Been there done that got burned badly hard to go back to the job I just liked now stuck in a mud pit.
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%
Mentor
Probably 10%
