“That’s a good question. For me, salary is dependent on team,expectations, and experience for the new role. Does you team have a salary range they’re targeting?”
“Ok. We have a low expectations analyst role $40k.”
Whatever you’re making now, inflated by 5K, and then increased by 15-20%
Depends what you aspire to. If you’re running away from the current gig, you put yourself in a position to take 10% and run. In that case, sure, let them go first and hope you get luckier than 10%.
If you’re happy and well positioned, you have more leverage because you can confidently say “thanks no” if the deal isn’t compelling. I spent 3 years, with no intention of leaving BCG, saying “That’s an interesting role and a great fit with my experience in X, Y, and Z. I’m happy where I am and have a promising road ahead at BCG. That said, I’m always open to finding a perfect opportunity, which is a combination of role and comp. On the comp side, I’d need to be north of [a # 40-50% more than current] to be enticed.” 90% of those calls ended with “That’s out of our range but we’ll keep you mind.”
Ended up leaving for a unicorn role (for me, not the startup definition) and quite a bit more than I’d been targeting.
Thank you
*answer lol
Always at least 20% more
It depends on your role, YOE, etc. I’d just do some market research before having this discussion with a recruiter/interviewer.
I get f—d every time, especially when I discuss my OTE. Tell them to tell you first since they approached you
