40-50% 80-100k.

Yeah my base is $225 as a 1st year Sr Director. All-in comp was $315 this year, I don't know if that's low or not but I'm happy with it. I don't work that much compared to others.

Sr Director is really just Senior Manager btw, EYP titles sound inflated. Associate, Senior Associate, Consultant (MBA starts here), Director, Sr Director, PPMD.

32% which worked out to ~$29k. This was this year, but at a niche shop that did better because of COVID

3-7% of base normal rating 8-15% higher performers for vc. Base comp raises are single digit %

50%, 80-100k

What firm does that?

Hey everyone, I need some advise. I've been interviewing for a company for the last 4weeks.

I wasn't even okaay with Xk tbh, and now they've gone ahead and reduced it by 10k! I'm attending the final round on Friday - do y'all have any tips on how I can negotiate my salary to X+10 and let them know that this is highly unprofessional?
