Hi folks. Would appreciate data anyone can provide to help me with an upcoming negotiation:

Role is equivalent to COO (head of ops, IT, Finance, real estate, M&A, and HR) for a small/mid-size consulting firm. The role has ~5 reports, entire company is 70 employees across the US, NY-based role. I have an MBA and 25+ yrs experience.

Was aiming for TC ~400k inc equity and bonus. Can others share examples of similar roles and comp? Or let me know if this seems too high or too low. Thanks!

Proportionally, it seems alright. But I do think it’s a bit low generally speaking, especially given its NYC market. That said,..
- generalizations aren’t always helpful
- this is a brutal market
- especially for older processionals (based on your 25+ YOE classification)

Happy to chat 1:1 to help you navigate this further. General opinions are worthless, IMHO. Everyone’s situation is unique and matters, so the counsel has too as well. Feel free to DM if you still need help.

What's the revenue of the company?

What’s the revenue of the company? 400 for your yoe seems low but at the same time depends on your prior experience, WLB expectations, and what the company trajectory looks like

Revenue around 25M

Given the size and revenue it sounds right.

Is there profit sharing involved ?

I’m curious what you think should be the total comp package value, inc any of these sorts of things

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?
