Comment on what's the highest increase in salary you've had or seen?

The simple answer is, maybe. You could have had more if the competition wasn’t better. But you will never know if they were. My advice would be to focus on the fact that you just got a big raise, and enjoy the work. In a year, ask for more, say 10%, and if you’re good and fit the culture, they’ll do it. If not, start looking. Just be careful of jumping jobs too much.

Just be careful of jumping jobs too much.

I hear this a lot, but as a hiring manager, jumping jobs every year or so isn’t a red flag, to me.

  I’ve been in leadership for a number of companies now. I’ve only had one manager actively tell me it was of no consequence to them. They retracted that after two good applicants, one with 6 jobs in 6 years was in the mix. Personal experience and gut, but it tells me you are in the minority.

    Sure. Six jobs in six years is a red flag for me too. But 8 jobs in 12 years I don’t blink at.
    
    A few short tenures on a resume just means a few lousy or cheapskate employers. I see that often enough in great candidates that I don’t weigh it in very much.
    
    But yes, to your point, a resume with nothing but short tenures makes me think this person has been getting fired, or can’t be satisfied.

    Ahh good way to put it. “Nothing but” is a way to describe where I see anxiousness.

I appreciate the advice. I’m certainly happy with the raise, just trying to think ahead
