“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?”

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.

It depends on your role, YOE, etc. I’d just do some market research before having this discussion with a recruiter/interviewer.

Seeking advice on leveraging an offer from another company at my current company without having it blow up. I am overdue for a significant raise and am well respected by my management and peers. I don’t want a target on my back at my current company, or to burn a bridge with the offering company. Any advice? Does this ever go well? (I am currently FT, my company info isn’t up to date here).

So I’ve been with FAANG for 5 years (I’m 30 y/o). I’m pretty comfortable with my situation. Got average grades at a good undergrad university, total comp ~300k. I’m debating Ivy League MBA. I don’t think it’ll benefit me at FAANG, but I’d like to start a company eventually. Worth it?
