Right answer is 20-25% minimum
30% or more is always a no Brainer
This is considering you’re not severely underpaid - had a friend jump from 55k to 135 at deloitte. This was a great move obviously but I’d say he got what he should’ve been paid. But a 30% increase in 55 would still not be good

20% increase in base is bare minimum for changing jobs (unless you really hate your current job then you can compromise this percent)

Went from $125k to $175k when I switched. 40% increase, changed my life. While the money was amazing I made the switch for my career trajectory. Don’t get short sighted with money, play the long game!

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Sharks and other fishes,
I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?

I am working as a Collibra Architect from past 1 year and 2 months now(First gig after Uni) and honestly I dont like what I am doing, its too boring and it doesnt really involve any real development which i originally signed up for.
I sticked around here because It was something new and challenging but now whats the point.
Fast forward to past couple weeks, I've been assigned weird stuff, like "Making PPTs" and read this read that.. (spoiler alert, i've never used the things i read during work)
