Absolutely! Go for £100k base or more (excl car allowance).
I’m a fresh SM, sitting at that number. So, coming in you should aim higher for sure.
Similar number of years in terms of experience, although all in consulting.

Definitely aim for 110 or 120, why to quote less. If they can’t pay they will tell you but if you don’t ask you lose the chance.
When I interviewed for KPMG as SM I asked for 125 k base and they agreed.

Thank you!

What is your current level? Ie will you be coming in as a seasoned SM or currently a M/recent SM?

I am coming from a different industry as a Senior Legal and Policy Advisor. I have a PHD and 11 years of experience

Shoot your shot!

I just wanted to make sure it is not too far from reality - as I am coming from a different industry.
