My company is Chinese and they sent me to China for training for 2 months. I have been employed for 8 months, however I have a very high title. I get paid pretty poorly - $30,000 per year - for NYC.
My boss told me that she wants to give me a pay increase and that I should let her know how much I am thinking. What is a good number? Please serious answers only please.
Thanks

because you aint been there that long ,although you went away to better yourself within the company , i would be afraid to ask for too much in case you look greedy ,the chinese people dont like this , dont you know someone else in the company doing the same job or even higher or even a step lower and ask them discreetly what they earn on average ,if that's not possible i would go for 20% and say you would like to review it every 6 months or so

This depends on what type of work you're doing and what type of company it is. $30,000 isn't a lot, but you did get to go to China for training, which is a nice perk. My suggestion would be to look in the want ads and see what other companies are offering for the same position, and then try to get your salary to be comparable. Show the ads to your boss, and let them know that this is the going salary for someone in your position.
Good luck.

You do not say what sort of work you are doing nor the amount of education and experience you have. However there are all sorts off wage surveys available that you can use to see what others , in your position are making. Do not make a blind guess !
Find the wage survey on the Internet and ask for a fair wage, based on that information.
Good luck !

DICEY territory. In these days where so many people are being screwed out of their pensions and layoffs can come at anytime maybe the thing to do is just be thankful they want you bad enough to give you the increase.

It's strange that your boss is asking you what you think about your pay increase... I don't know enough about the situation, but my first impression is that your boss is testing you.

Usually pay increases are 8 percent, but go with 12percent and see what they will say.
