Is asking for a £50K salary jump from Junior to Mid-level realistic?

Asked By SunnyBunny77 On

I'm looking for advice on salary expectations as I transition from a Junior to a Mid-level position. Currently, I'm earning around £35,000 and I believe that based on the value I provide, aiming for £50,000 is reasonable. However, I'm unsure if this is an unrealistic request, especially since I'm considering asking for it at my current company, rather than looking for a new job. Any insights on negotiating salaries or what to realistically expect would be greatly appreciated!

I’m in the same boat and actively seeking better-paying roles. Honestly, £50K feels like underestimating your worth if you've gained valuable experience. I'm targeting £60K myself, so be confident in what you bring!

The pay scale in the UK can be wild with the current tax policies. Aiming for £60K as you advance is a smart move, especially given the work-life balance concerns. If you're making the push to a mid-level, £50K seems a reasonable target for sure!

You're worth what companies will pay you. To truly gauge your value, consider applying for jobs to see what offers come in. That said, moving from £35K to £50K is a realistic jump. If you can secure offers, that will give you the confidence to negotiate.

Yeah, I’m curious too! Which country are you in?

It's definitely not outrageous! If you've outgrown your current role and can show the impact you’re making, aiming for £50K is very reasonable, especially in tech in the UK. Just be ready to back it up with examples of your contributions. Many people find that switching jobs helps them achieve these jumps, so keep that in mind as leverage for your negotiation.
