That would be VP or above and even then it’s a long shot for base. Not happening in a HCOL. They pay below market anyway - has always been this way.

Everything is possible if you’re bringing enough value/revenue to the firm. Now, how likely are you bringing enough value to North Highland to justify a $275+ base?

Base? Hard to believe they pay anywhere near that.

it is possible to get that, just very unlikely... tbh you shouldnt work here if you can get an offer elsewhere!

Hi! I have a very demanding role as a comms director, but still make time to volunteer on the side for some women's organizations I am proud to support. Lately though, the work has been piling up and it's almost as if I have two full-time gigs. I've brought this up as graciously as possible with the orgs, but sometimes I feel I'm being guilted into taking on more work. Best etiquette in this situation? I don't want to leave the roles despite the overwhelm.
