<prompt> Human: My company is essentially creating a new role, one level above my current role, to promote myself and one other colleague to. We are the longest tenured members on our team and will be taking on additional responsibilities. My manager has asked me to start thinking about what Im looking for in compensation, whether that be a percentage or a number. Im wondering what is an appropriate amount, but also dont want to sell myself short. Unfortunately its tough to do research on what others are making in this role, because its a relatively niche industry and a new role. Just for reference, however, I would be going from the title Sales Engineer II to III. Additionally, this number is potentially going to decide if I will be staying here long term. I will be starting a family soon and my wife will go from full to part time, which I will need to make up for. I would love to stay at the company but realistically will need to support my family, so I want to be totally prepared for this conversation.  <response>: I dont have a specific amount to give you, but he are some things to consider: theyre creating a new role to promote you, they clearly value you and want to keep you. If you ask for more than they can pay, theyll tell you what they can pay. If you have financial considerations that might make you look for work elsewhere, make sure what you ask for is at least enough where you wouldnt have to think about looking for a different job.
