When negotiating for a raise/promotion, is it better to ask for a flat number or a percentage increase?

Flat number because you’re usually negotiating for the specific amount you feel that you should be paid based on comps in your market, etc. Asking for a percentage may feel like an easier topic though, and depending on how much you’re asking for percentages may come up regardless.

Flat raise. Asst planner to planner is 25-35% raise which sounds high vs +$13k

I prefer %, feels easier to stomach

Never heard of AMPs get a raise without an offer. Good luck!

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?
