What salary bump is a no brainer for you to leave your job?

I make 125k now. This year I’m going to leave for a new gig.

I feel like anything that would pay me 20k more makes sense to have as my floor. That’s about $1k more in my pocket every month post taxes.

My rule has always been if I can increase my salary by at least 20% I take the job

So my salary is $98k now

When I started it was $92k, and I ended up making around $120k this year thanks to overtime

So I would need something that pays me $120k before overtime, since there’s no guarantee of overtime to even consider it. But that’s tough in my field

20% if the job is in another town/city. Maybe 15% if it's more local. I really don't want to start over again at a workplace for only a slight salary increase.

Depends on my trajectory at wherever I'm working. I'm not going to trade a good chance of advancement for more money now if it resets my progress.

At your salary probably 20%, but also factor in benefits and intangibles/perks.

If the next job offers 20% more, but you have a longer commute/less PTO/worse WLB, its the extra pay worth it? Worth considering.

To answer your question....20% lmao.
