I have 5 years HR experience and 2 years consulting experience. Base salary at D is 115K as an SC in the Human Capital practice. Should I take advantage of this hot job market right now for a higher salary? If so, what ranges and where should I look if wanting to stay in consulting?

I think you should aim for higher base. 130k+

Also, given to need for people I’d try to negotiate a signing bonus too

You would be foolish not to test the market but don’t jump just to jump. I think you can reasonably request $150k and see what happens.

100%!

What city are you in?

I have a very similar background and did the jump at that level a few years ago, and was able to swing 150k base - so in this climate, absolutely!

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
