at first: the job must be really great. And with that should get more 20%. (I hope getting a raise)
Tip: it makes sense to bargain with the old employer, if you want to move. If you are a "valuable collegue" you get often what you have asked in the past 
Press F1 for help or google it.

A colleague has an ambition to earn his age. So for example he is 24 now and is on 24K or above (I don't know his salary but know he is at least meeting his criteria). When he is 30 he will expect to be on 30K or above.
I've already fallen behind. 
|

|
|
|
I can only dream about 25K
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

I exceeded that right up until I was booted from last job at 2x.

I always ask for a minimum of $5,000 more. I don't switch jobs much. I NEVER take less pay.
Remember though, you have to have the skill set in order to walk the walk.

I expect 10,000% more but rarely get it. 
Deciding to take a new job isn't just about pay. You have to consider how much time and stress the new job will be compared to the current. Commuting distance. Vacation days. Work environment. Other benefits. It can't be all about money or you'll never stop changing jobs.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You have to ask the right questions on the interview. And observe how they answer and be observant during the interview.

If my aging memory serves me correctly, interviewers like to receive intelligent questions. A thought though, don't discuss money on the first interview unless they ask first. Mention your salary requirements in your resume cover letter, if you have one.

Thank you its helpful .

Some pointers are here[^].
Of course, you need to use your discretion in asking these questions, and your tone of asking them. Make sure that you don't unintentionally annoy the interviewer.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I try to not annoy the interviewer but one thing he must be sure of is that he is not the only one evaluating in the room. He is evaluating me on the basis of the interview, but I am evaluating his entire company on the very same basis.
The moment they understand they have the upper hand is the moment of your doom. Always give off a steady presence (even if you'r dirtying your underpants  ).

In the first few years of your career, 30% to 100% is reasonable. After that it will flatten out. You probably start contracting at this stage to make good money, as you have the experience to do so. After that you don't make any more yearly.

|

As much as you are offered.

I took a salary hike once, our company was bought out and they told us to take a hike. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.
|

I'd get $5454/year if I switched jobs right now.

Looking at salary alone will put you in a position to get taken advantage of. You may take a job with a higher salary, but poor health benefits, no retirement contributions, little vacation etc.
I was given some negotiation advice by the owner of a recruiting company that my wife used to work for, and it has served me well over the last 20 years:
1. The compensation for a job is more than the salary. People always seem to get stuck on the salary. Kind of like car salesmen get stuck on "How much do you want to pay a month", not what is the price of the car.
2. When negotiating, the first one to name the price, loses.
When they ask, "What kind of compensation are you looking for?" defer, and respond with a question.
Example:
You: "How well do you think I am a fit for this job?"
Interviewer: "I think you're a great fit"
You: "I assume that you have a range you are willing to pay for this position, is that true?"
Interviewer: "Yes, we do."
You: "If you think I'm I great fit, I would like to me near the top end of your salary range."
This could go on, they may shy away from the number.
Continuation:
Interviewer: "Well, I can't name that number. What is your current salary?"
You: "I consider compensation to be more than the salary, what kind of benefits do you offer?"
Interviewer: "<response, defers>"
You: "What options for telecommuting, flexibility in schedule, vacation, bonuses"
Interviewer: "<response, defers>"
You: "What's the work culture like. Work/life balance? How many times a year do you have crunch mode... and so on"
Eventually someone will name a number.
3. Be creative if the company doesn't want to pay as much:
I met a guy that moved to Utah for an engineering firm, he took a pay cut because the cost of living is lower than where he moved from. He negotiated ski days into his package. Any days with fresh snow in the mountains, he could just take off and have a paid ski day.
4. It takes practice, but soon you'll be comfortable with it and reaping the benefits.
Those are things you should remember.
I turned down one job where they offered me a 30% increase over my current salary. The CEO of the company called me and tried to talk me into the job.
I asked "What kind of health insurance benefits do you offer?".
His response "I'm not sure, I don't use the insurance".
That was a HUGE red flag on top of all of the other reasons I decided to turn down the job.
Conclusion:
Your total compensation package is more than your salary.
