I am expecting an offer in the next few days but also anticipate this being low based on discussions with my future manager. I think he simply wants to throw my current salary through a currency converter and call it good.



I have spent a while doing multiple calculations based on factors such as



  • Current salary; converted and weighted based on new location / tax rules

  • Similar roles in a similar location on Glassdoor and Salarys.com

  • Inter-company charges for my time over the past year - i.e. what the I have been worth to the company I am transferring to

All come out within 10k of each other, which I take as a pretty clear indication that my expectation is reasonable.



Assuming I do get a low offer, how should one approach this?



  • Walk future manager through the above calculations? I am concerned that each calculation on it's own can be pulled apart, but they all end up within 10k of each other which I think paints a pretty strong case.

  • Respond with a figure ~15% higher than my target (as per this answer)

  • Simply respond saying the salary is lower than expected/desired and ask for it to be revised, noting the research I've done above but without going into specifics.

Equally; this will be part of a wider relocation package and should be considered alongside that. I'd expect the whole package to be laid out before I can accept.



I would be happy not to accept if the package isn't right, but I would still need to work with this manager and team in the future. Even if I left my current role for another company, I would want to do so on good terms.
