I might get a new job offer from another department within same company. It's a Fortune 500 company that i'm currently working at. I have worked there for 3.5 years and I did apply to a new position and different role which better matched to my current skillsets and past experience, it's higher job grade - a level higher than my current, I get shortlisted for interview and get through it.

Now waiting for things to be finalised, and I expect HR to offer me with a compensation package in the next few days. For cases like this, how much % increase in salary would make sense for you to jump normally? If i request for 30-40% more than current salary, would it be too much?

FYI, i have a total of 19 years working experience. Out of the total, I have 8 years working in Fortune 500 companies which are into similar role.

The department is looking for a skilled and experienced person and need to be hired by end of this year. They also commented that they could not find perfect candidate in the market and i'm th best candidate so far. I was shortlisted for that job. HR is working on the package.
