what would be the % of hike one can get when he/she switches from 1 job to anothre?

Answer 1

theoretically, no limit. If you are underpaid for your skills, ask for a lot. Go in strong, but know your limits. If you ask for too much, they may just ignore you. Make sure you are in line with pay for your position in your industry.

Answer 2

We cannot arrive at a Standard percentage of hike in salary as the same is depends upon variuos factors like
a) whether you are relocating from your native place to Other Places/Country
b) Whether the job is in onshore or off shore locations
c) Benefits and amenities offered by the new employer other than the payment
d) The extend of your skills that may be required for the new job
f) the size and structure of the new organisation you are going to join
g) The current position of the Industry in which the new organisation belongs to
h) The current payment structure of the industry in which the new organisations belongs
i) The type of job i.e., Permanent or contract
j) The position of the new organisation in the industry to which it belongs
In addition to the above, there are other factors which are specific to the new job like the position were you belongs to in the organisational hierarchy, what the employer is expecting from you and whether your skills are adequate or you are overqualified etc. If your skills are more than what is required or at par um you will get is what other people at the same level is getting, if your skills are less than what required, then you will be paid less than the standard.
If the new job is to a company which is in the same industry and size and structure is almost same and where your job profile was almost the same as in the present company, then the maximum hike you can expect is 10% or to a maximum of the current inflation rate.

Answer 3

It all depends on the type of job, what you can specifically offer that company in terms of your talents and abilities, and what the company is willing to pay for those skills. For instance, general production skills are something there are a lot of people capable of doing, so a company does not have to pay a lot to attract qualified people, or to attract people that can successfully do the job with training. However, if a person has other skills such as the ability to read blueprints, machine setup, training on quality control understanding of how to do the job in the most efficient way, etc. That adds value to what you can offer the company.

I used to hire entry level workers. Almost every applicant would claim that they were a good worker. So, if all 15 candidates you interview in one day all say that, no one has an advantage. But, tell me what you can do in an interview that makes you a person that will quickly learn the specifics, and HOW you will be a good worker - that attracts my attention and that is where your value is to ask for a better salary.

So, there is no set %, but your best option is to prove to the interviewer that you have the ability to be the best worker they could hire - then you are in a position to ask for a higher wage.

Answer 4

What was the reason you changed the job?
I think , the most important should be the satisfaction of the work and working atmosphere.
As if you think that you can do more better work with mental peace, in the new company you wont mind if it is the same or similar at the initial stage, b'cos every company (boss) need good and dedicated staff for the development of the company. And if (boos) see your work then he automatically increase your salary.

Answer 5

I feel comfortable with 10% But that is also with increasing my skills and learning more.

I have also gotten two raises of %20. But both times I felt pretty underpaid.

20 through raises to 28, interviewed and got a counter offer went to 36, worked contract at 40, went to different field 45, company got bought out 50, quit and went back to old field 41, went back to the other field 60, seven years
