<prompt> Human: I have just received an opportunity for a promotion and raise for my employer. Salary isnt where I want it to be, but it is close at 55K, but want 60K. There is opportunity for a bonus at the end of the year 1,500-2,500 but is not guaranteed. My question is if I should negotiate terms? I want to propose no bonus opportunity and a 60K salary fixed for 3 years. Would this be wise? Is it fair to both parties?  <response>: DO NOT fix any salary for 3 years. that is a long time and after the first year you will be taking a 1-2 pay cut due to standard inflation.As others have said, assume your bonus is 0. That is not guaranteed income, and never assume it is - but do not tell them you want to wipe it off of the table. Tell them why you are worth 65k shoot high.. and what market value is for your position.
