I'm seeking a 20% raise in contrast to the 10% that most people seem to consider standard. This is to account for two facts
- My current team consists of very fun people and feels special
- It's apparently impossible to be fired from this project so my life is currently almost completely stress-free
If I'm moderately happy in my current company but I would switch for a significant raise that offsets the relative risk, does it make sense to claim that my current salary is the bottom end of the desired range so as to encourage potential employers to start the negotiation from that point? I ask this especially because I find the act of haggling stressful.
