I have an offer for a Director of IT Compliance role. Small/mid size company and in MCOL, I have +12 YOE. Base salary in the offer is 160k and annual bonus 20-45k (depends on company performance). Any thoughts on the offer? I’m inclined to ask for a base of 170k since not in rush to change jobs.

160kkkk? How!??? I’m a senior at 120k, how is a director getting only 160, push for 190k

likefunny

No RSUs. Total comp offered would be 180k to 220k (big difference is the bonus). It’s for industry, not for a professional services firm.

I wouldn’t for less than 185 base (assuming you are a current director at PWC)

like

No, planning to leave soon

Yeah, $160k base sounds a bit low for your YOE, but I'm relatively junior and not terribly familiar with what is competitive at your level. What's your role at PWC? Senior Manager? What's your base and TC currently? If you like your current job, the pay bump should be particularly good to make you jump imo.

I think you should hold still and look for something better. You have 12YOE. You should be targeting double of that man. I left public at S2 making 97k for a bank AVP role after just 4YOE and I’m making 150k rn at MCOL. You’re worth more.

Thanks for all the input! Total comp offered now is 180k to 220k (big difference is the bonus). It’s for industry, not for a professional services firm. As I thought, it sound I should ask for more on the base salary (170-180k range I’m thinking)

Just curious, is that a good salary for a director at RSM? Feels quite low.

Seems like a good opportunity. In the past, I’ve negotiated a higher salary for a slightly less sign on bonus. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to hear you out.

My experience is similar to EY1. A little over 5yoe on my end, and at just about 160k base. Push for more or find a different offer.

Ask for more. You should get at least $220k. Ask for stock. Ask for Bonus. Don't be afraid to ask.
