100% agreed and I've witnessed this, it may be more common here in Europe. Some companies are very focused on your last salary (if you're desperate or careless enough to tell it to them) and will outright laugh you out the door if they think you demand a jump that's too high.
To the person you were replying to: Please remember this is not the valley, sometimes an increase of 10k per year is noticeable.
- franciscop 4y agoI am actually from Spain and I agree; my point though is that you normally would want to negotiate and work for companies based on value, not on your cost. That has many implications and it's not for everyone ofc, but it's generally true IMHO [article pending...]. Put it the other way; if you know a company is paying 60k/employee (at your level/role ofc), and they offer you 40k "based on your previous salary", wouldn't you also laugh on their face?
