FAQ

What is a good raise to ask for?

It depends on your performance, the market rate for your role, and company budgets. A 3%–5% raise is common for solid performance; promotions or hot skills can justify more. Always anchor to market data, not just a percentage.

Should I negotiate in dollars or percent?

Both. Lead with the dollar amount you want, then show the percentage so it is easy to approve. A concrete number ("$3,000 more") is harder to dismiss than "a bit more".
