Can I hire someone to negotiate my salary? The company has HR, why can’t I have a guy?

I’m pretty sure the execs in charge of comp decisions stopped talking to HR a while ago and just hand down a list of who gets what and tells HR to deliver and justify it.

This company does coaching for salary negotiations. I have heard good things about their work/help negotiating tech positions. Unsure of their ability w/ legal positions, but you could ask them: https://www.levels.fyi/t/legal?country=254

It's atypical. How senior is the role? If you need help and it's a senior role, hire an attorney with experience negotiating executive comp package and figure out what some alternatives are if you can't get the exact balance of comp, bonus, or equity you want. Also, do research to figure out what others in comparable positions are paid and use that information. Ultimately, you're likely to be the best representative of yourself in this situation, but you have to invest the time to figure out how to get yourself the best deal.

I have in the past gone to recruiters I am in contact with for help with negotiations. Mainly I've asked what they think about the offered pkg, what others are offering or asking for, and any insight they could share about the company I might join. They get salary info from me and I get their industry insights.

What matters more to you, salary or title? I'm weighing two opportunities... one would be a lateral move in the sense that I'd have the same title, but would definitely be making more money. The other is a better title with more authority, but likely wouldn't be making more money when it comes down to it.

Is it a good move? Currently in the industry as senior financial analyst, $120 base + 10% bonus + stock option (but the company is not public yet). Got an offer from A&M for associate (yes, down-leveled) $100K base + ?? Bonus. I heard associate TC average to $150K last year, and if I can make senior next year, TC average to $210K. I haven’t really thought about what I wanted to do long term. I tried industry for half a year it wasn’t really my thing, so I’m going back the client serving for now.
