Most employers will not give much in case #3
Also on further reading the OP is from a Uni /Rnd Background which is notorious for paying people very badly and from experience when you start at a low salary its hard to get what you deserve.
- mdorazio 7y agoI disagree on both points. It's not uncommon at all for people to negotiate 20%+ raises just by asking and making clear they are willing to leave if a significant raise isn't forthcoming (assuming, of course, that they are actually worth the raise and the company can pay it). On your second point, it's also not uncommon at all for people to very quickly raise their salary coming from a low point (just look at people who went from minimum wage to doing a code bootcamp and getting 3x what they were making previously). Tip on that - if the place you're interviewing with asks what your current salary is, tell them it's whatever your target salary is minus 5-10%. There's no downside to doing so, and no upside to telling them what you currently make.
