I’m in final stages of applying as a director at a comms agency. For it to be something worth changing my current set up for, I’d want to be at least at $120k salary. Is this low? Accurate? And what advice does anyone have for negotiating in the current landscape.

Following since I’m in a similar situation

Noodles to know size and scope of role, state you would be working/living in, are you in a high COL city, company this role is in, ect. There are too many blank variables to answer a broad question....

Have you checked salaries for such roles via Glassdoor?

That’s super low

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?

Is negotiating offers the norm now? I’ve been at my company awhile and at the time I was hired they said they don’t do negotiations, take it or leave it and they’d offer the next person. I do believe we renegotiate now, however I’m not sure if it’s the rule, the exception, or somewhere in the middle?
