The Yahoo! Hot Jobs blog has a great post today title “5 Salary Secrets Your Company Won’t Tell You.” I wouldn’t necessarily call them secrets, but are great to keep in mind. The 5 “secrets” are posted below, but check out their post for the full scoop and our post on how to negotiate a salary increase.

  1. For most companies, 3.9% is the average budget increase for salaries.
  2. Your employer (or future employer) may not know the current salary averages.
  3. Most managers have a short memory.
  4. Your manager probably has little influence over your salary.
  5. Threatening to quit can result in a big wage increase (but it’s risky).
