How did you determine what level of compensation to ask for during the interview process?

I considered compensation, bonuses, and perks at my previous company, then calculated the monetary value of unique company offerings, added a few variables for "quality of life" considerations to create a range I would be comfortable with even if I did not get a raise after the first year.

depends on many of the other non-money benefits - especially the odds of high job satisfaction.

Research on the internet into similar roles.

Checking the average for the industry and location, plus adding in a small amount equal to time of experience

My previous salary vs new job responsabilities

based on past experience compared with going rate

I will always take a chance to grow over a chance to get paid. I currently make well below market rate for my position but am in a position well above what I would be able to get with my experience level and am learning a lot all the time. It's also important to consider things such as benefits (insurance can be $$$), stock options, flexibility and ownership. While I may be able to get paid more somewhere else, I am getting great insurance, a well-above-average vesting schedule, unlimited PTO and am in a position to really help steer the future of the company and am in control of my career.

I was a new hire in a call center - there was no negotiation.

Market value research plus my gut on my perceived value

Industry standards. Glass Door, Comparably.

Research market rates, then adjust up or down based on what value I bring to the table.

When I had a case worked out based on what they appeared to need. So that I can say, "I think that what I would bring to this position is worth $x, because I can solve x, y, and z."

Check company history and pay at similar jobs

Based on my qualifications and experiences

You don't. There will be a budget for the role and you should wait for an offer to be extended. You may be asked what your expectations are but that's unrealistic. You can tell them what your previous job paid, but make it clear that you understand that market forces dictate remuneration and not pay history. Don't get hung up on salary - finding a rewarding and interesting job is the most important thing.

Do your research; study salary surveys as well as looking for salary ranges that are sometimes posted on job boards (i.e. Glassdoor). As a rule; if you are looking to make a lateral move to a new company for various reasons; 10% bump should be your target. If you are looking to take the next step in your career (ie Mangager to director) 15 - 20% should be your target OTE.

You don't ask for compensation. If you're not in management, odds are you're given minimum wage and that's it. No chance for raises (unless specified by the union) or extras.

Never sell yourself short always say what you feel like your worth. Never accept something that will not make you happy and struggle. Everyone knows what they are worth but it’s a tricky situation because if someone needs a job they take what’s offered because they are afraid that if they say to much they won’t get the job and if they say to less they can’t live. Pay will always be negotiable and a lot of people don’t know to do that when extended an offer but I recommend saying pay in negotiable and see what they offer so you can negotiate until happy just express why you feel like your worth the amount your looking for

Check MRP and add 5%

Based on my experience, training, education, and COL, I wrote my request on a piece of paper. Towards the end of the final interview they made me an offer. I pulled the piece of paper out of my pocket, looked at it and tore it in half as they offers me even more than I was willing to ask for.

Upfront screen by recruiter. Don't waste each others' time if there's no room for negotiation.

I didn't. This is my first salary position so I just accepted what was offered.

Pre determined by the company

Research comparable pay range for the area the job is located in and aim for a salary that's mid to mid-high within that been curve.

What you find is reasonable and normal for that role, but best not to bring it up in an initial interview.

Based on my previous comp, I worked with the recruiter.

My experience would determne my worth.

i was young and just wanted to work there. over time ive been given raises to the point where im making 1.5 times my starting salary

Previous experience and salary level. Now I would look at glass door and comparably as well. I also factored in cost of living since I moved states.

I call several recruiters offering jobs I don't necessarily want and ask for increasing amounts. Once they start pushing back, then I know the industry limit.

check the going rate and get every penny you can
