I gave a salary range to a couple recruiters for digital consulting positions and am not sure if it was relatively close to market value or not. Would you think this (admittedly wide) range is high, low, or reasonable? Any advice is appreciated!

Some info:
- Both roles are for boutique digital consulting firms in Chicago
- Consultant 1 positions requiring 3-5 years experience
- My range: $100k-$120k base
- I have 4 yrs experience, 2 of which in a BA/Product owner role (non b4 accounting firm)

I think that range is reasonable. You can always ask for more if you ace the interviews.

I also think it's reasonable. If they come back to you with a much lower number, you can always reevaluate. Same with if they express that the range runs a lot higher or they are really feeling you after the interview.

Third vote for reasonable. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I mean, would you accept lower anyway if they came back and said that's all they could offer? When you know what you're worth, you know.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
