Hi, i have a third interview tomorrow for the position as EA to the President of a large university. The head hunter I / they are working with has told me they are firm on the salary offered, an will not negotiate. The salary is low, especially for such a forward-facing role. The salaries of the top employees are publicly available, and are higher than most other salaries with the same titles in this region. Any suggestions on what I should do?

A third interview is very promising. If you don't really need the job then I would push them on negotiating. If you need a role though I would probably take it in this job market.

Cash bonuses, raises, profit-sharing, company equity, 401k match, etc.

Hi there. What is considered a good salary for a project manager?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
