What was your most successful salary negotiation? Where did you start and where did you end up? I was able to negotiate a 5% increase on my most recent job, would love to hear others’ experiences.

A few years back, I negotiated myself up 15% (~140k ->160k) and a title bump which was great. That’s the best I’ve done.

Senior to AD I was at 93k, promo raise was 7% and I was pissed because I knew where others were…and I managed a ton of work. I compared my workload and what I was doing to two other people I knew that were in the 120s, talked to our VP who I was decently close with, and my manager who was awesome at the time. My manager ended up pushing through like 20 on top of the 7 to get me 131.

It was a perfect storm of the company doing well at the time, my manager being the shit, and me leading a ridiculously high-level piece of business.

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour. I technically can make bonuses but I’m not supposed to dig into a sale and I have to send it to a sales rep (I am service and retention mostly). My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
