Negotiating a job offer salary

[JohnnySic]

Is there a rule of thumb for negotiating a salary offer? A "standard" percentage?

TIA.

You're forgetting nobody on this forum has a job.

I would say 10%-15%+. Obviously YMMV depending on field, experience, etc.

Be reasonable.

I can't speak for anything outside of the finance industry, but for us, it's pretty well defined base, so there really isnt' much negotation (for example, Analyst is around what, 65-70K base?? or at least for me it was back then)

However, I would imagine employers are definitely gonna low ball you so maybe if for example they offer 55 ask for 75, and you'll prob agree on something in low to mid 60s

Thanks.

The important thing is that you be able to justify your asking price with a detailed explanation of why you believe you deserve and earned what you want. If you stutter and stumble when they pose that question to you then you're most likely not getting it.

I was offered X amount, I said your average person with my job makes 15% more than that (I had no experience) but since I've shown a steady work history with amazing results at every place I've ever worked, how about another 10%?

They agreed.

You can ask for whatever you want if you can back it up.

5% is much closer to standard

A 15% raise is huge.
