When negotiating salary, what is a reasonable ask in terms of increase? I am really hoping to be about 14% higher.

Adding that I specifically meant negotiating an initial offer, not a raise.

I asked for 18%. Justified because I was leaving a salary close to it and I wants sure it would be a net positive without it. They said ok.

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

I might be over analyzing. I’m in the middle of interviewing with a big box retailer. The initial interview was with the in house recruiter and then with the Senior Associate and SVP all within the last week. They scheduled a “touch base” interview with the recruiter for this week. Is this a good or bad sign?

Any insight into in-house gigs at studios/networks? Ie HBO, CBS, NBC etc? Pros and cons? Have applied for a few and have gotten some reciprocal interest but I don’t know any lawyers in this space. Most are for production attorney jobs. Thanks in advance for any insights! If you know anything specific about the above companies would also appreciate it.
