It depends on how much you were earning in your previous company. If you were earning R5k per month, then you can easily ask for 100% increase, even more. But as soon as you are earning R15k+ per month, then it is a different story.I know, but I usually just tag a long.
I agree, but I got a 48% increase when I changed jobs, no joke. At my old company I could not do all I wanted to do in terms of tech. I have been given more responsibilities, choice and room to maneuver at my current gig.
