<prompt> Human: My current position is a Salesforce.com Business Analyst and Solution Architect. I had no experience going into the role, so Im being underpaid and Im fine with that. Its an industry Im new to and have been trying to get in. It was a step up from my last job by a considerable amount. Ive been casually looking for jobs and a SFDC System Analyst SFDC Admin came up. I had two phone interviews and an in person on Thursday with 2 directors and a VP. In the area, a SFDC admin alone can make anywhere from 60-110k. I have experience and 3 certifications. When asked, I said I saw it ranges with a wide salary range, but I cant make less than Im making now 68k. I feel I should have said something like 80k. That salary jump, plus no longer having to pay OOP for medical insurance will make life easier. She said that they do a market analysis, and come up with a budget i.e. 75k for test role, but wanted to make sure my expectations were reasonable.That makes me think, Id the offer the job, I should expect 75k. Is that ok to do? Did I just shoot myself in the foot? How do I bring up I want more than what Im making now?  <response>: A good rule of thumb companies use when hiring someone is to offer 10 more than their current salary. Thats exactly what they did with you. You can try asking for more. Id say ask for 85 and maybe theyll meet you in the middle at 80. Thats the best you could hope for.
