How much of a salary increase should you ask for other jobs?

I got a grad job offer for £30k base salary and it comes with benefits. Industry: Engineering I'm still applying to other jobs as backup. Since nothing is set in stone until I get a contract and I sign it (it starts September and I'm still studying). I can finally wave my dick in the hiring staff's face when they read my response to “What is your current Salary (without benefits)” on the online application form. But some jobs are in other parts of the UK, besides the higher cost of a living but most importantly I will have to relocate! How much extra should I be asking that is feasible? And if I have to relocate?

You don’t get to have lunch because you don’t work for minimum wage.

WFH, My boss calls me asking for something I had promised to get done by the end of the day. It's not even 1PM yet. I told him it wasn't ready, I took some time to eat lunch and he was like,” you can't have lunch you don't work for McDonald's. We don't get paid minimum wage, so we don't get to have lunch”! I just kept eating my sandwich and allowed silence to hang between us for a brief moment.

“Solar is the best way to stick it to Vladimir Putin!” Thanks for coming in today Mr. Suit.

TLDR: Mr. Suit shamelessly tried to manipulate the entire workforce during a compensation dispute by saying, “Solar is the best way we can stick it to Putin.” ​ My coworkers and I often find ourselves walking on a few inches of space on the edge of a roof 20 feet in the air. We also working. with electricity for a living. Both of these tasks can easily kill you. We pointed out we need to be compensated more. We made just enough noise to actually breakthrough our useless middle management. HR was “shocked” by our dissatisfaction. We had a branch-wide meeting, which was tense, but fairly productive. Everyone is eventually cooling down after being told we will in fact be receiving 7% raises to match inflation. And then Mr. Suit arrived. In the last 5 minutes of the meeting, of the workday, one of our co-founders makes a melodramatic entrance.…
