Is Washington super low paying or something? They are offering me $60/hr and I’m usually $125/hr.

In my experience, yes. I am sure there are a couple of agencies that pay better but even Microsoft offered me like $50 an hour

They probably offered you $50 through a staffing agency.

Could be the agency or market. It’s up to you but I personally tell them the range I’d work with. If the job is super easy (including people management) then a slightly lower rate is ok but 60 is too low. They won’t get good talent with those budgets.

Different industry markets, different clients, different work. I think it should be less about where the work is and more about WHAT the work is. We shouldn’t be constrained to the place where we work to determine our pay.

Is this through a staffing agency? If so they’re probably taking half.

No I never do recruiters/staffing agency

Are you a JR?

Location doesn’t matter

Market is cooling and rates are coming down... But yeah that's low.

rates are not going down…

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?

SVP vs VP in banking.

I'm currently looking at two HRBP roles at two different titles/salary bands. This would at a large banking company located in NYC. Can anyone with banking industry experience share their perspectives and insights on the differentiation between the roles? I take it that VP is more of a junior role and a more commonly-used title. I have a friend that's a VP at JPM and has about the same YOE as me (shes not in HR). I have about 15 YOE but about 10 yrs HR YOE and 3 HRBP YOE.
