When I switched from an individual contributor role into management, I wasn’t sure how much higher to aim in my salary ask. The market data didn’t feel like a perfect comparison, and I didn’t want to undershoot. For those who’ve moved into a new level or type of role — how did you figure out what to ask for?

That’s a good point. Comparisons are always not that helpful for that sort of jump. It depends, but when I think 10-20% minimum

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package?
