On: Ask HN: How Do You Negotiate?

If company X moved 17% how much % do you think you potentially left on the table?

Hard to say. Probably some amount.

I was already making a stupid amount for the workload at my original employer. I'm happy with the end result for the moment.

I had another offer that I didn't mention here for 30% more after I accepted the +17% offer. It required a being on call Tuesday to Sunday... Money isn't the only factor.

If you've already gotten bumps from their original offer, odds are that you are not leaving much on the table at all.
