Well, let say it depend.

If your starting wage is a normal one, yes, your wage is your base price.
If you have starting wage with big benefit or bonus, it is likely that you will have to sacrifice it to move.

... Well, it seem I forgot the MBB part.

I am looking into the CCP (Certified Compensation Professional). It seems to be quite an expensive exam.

If anyone else is studying, let me know and maybe we can share study materials!

For those who have taken it, are there any cheaper or alternative study materials to any official guides you would recommend? I went this route with the PHR and SHRM-SCP and passed each on the both try, so I wanted to see if that method may be viable here. Any recommended order to take courses in?
