That would be the minimum to move. I would start at 30% to leave room to work down.

Just want to make sure that won’t get laughed at. I know you all would need more context but in general is that way out of line or fine?

Yea I’m not but I got an offer and want to ask for 20% on top of that offer, is that out of line

So if I am at 180, I should ask for ~230? Is this type of percent really applicable at high base levels? Just curious ...

Shooters shoot

This is SO job and industry dependent, but come on guys, there's a reason why consulting is often called "golden handcuffs"
