I gave notice at SmallCorp, and my grandboss called me later that afternoon and offered me a promotion I’d been waiting for for the last two years, and agreed to match the salary. There was another person party to this negotiation. This is a person who has already shown he won’t negotiate in good faith.

I didn’t have anything left to negotiate. I have been religiously reading your blog for several years and it was so helpful in enabling me to see the toxicity for what it was. I got a 41% salary increase(!!!), I was offered a fully remote role in my field with more PTO, a huge title bump, and a 95% pay raise!

I knew from reading your blog it was time to leave when I found myself fantasizing about getting injured significantly enough to be signed off for several months, without having a major life impact. I’ll admit I did not negotiate salary, because I feel that the offer was fair, and the benefits are generous.

And, I am making more than double my previous salary! Within two weeks I had the job, completely and permanently remote at the salary I asked for. When they asked for my salary range, I did some research and gave them a range that was 25% – 30% more than what I was making, but was on-par for the role they had been describing.

I don’t want to leave, but also looking at the salaries other companies were offering, started to feel like I was leaving money on the table.

Recently I received a message on LinkedIn from a recruiter that after taking advice I had read on your blog and really just being myself and knowing what value I bring, I accepted a position that gave me a 35% increase for my base and a bonus on top of that.
