What should you do if you get an offer for little more than you are already making? Been going through a 1.5 month interview process for large RE brokerage company, even told them how much I’m currently making (yes, I know, a mistake) and they only offered total comp 4% greater than I already make. I was thinking that for an external move, it should be closer to 20%. Suggestions for negotiating around this that doesn’t spook them?

I wouldn’t take it unless you hate your job. If they think they can give you a 4% raise to poach you, what will they give you once you’re there?? They either don’t value you or think you’re overpaid for your qualifications.

Got offers for 40%+ above my salary and my company offered almost 50% to keep me.

Seconding this: you likely deserve so much more than that. At minimum, counter for 20%. If it spooks them, it probably wasn't a good match for you anyway.

I would consider negotiating. If it is worth bringing it up then don't be afraid to. The worst they can say is no.
