On this day 6 months ago, I left my prior firm.

I’m still in consulting but no more waking up in the middle of the night in cold sweats, no more conversations with my gf about how my working hours and stress are affecting our relationships, no more interventions hosted by friends who are worried about me, and no more financial issues.

I would have quit after bonus payouts even if nothing had been lined up. Luckily I found something. I’m in a pensive mood - life is good 😊

Just curious what the salary ranges are for Benefits Managers within this group. Trying to determine where I currently align. I have 16 years of experience with 6 being in the role of a Benefits Manager. I have continously grown within my career and taken on more responsibilities and added new skills. I have both my PHR and SHRM-CP and working on my Cebs certification. Current salary is $80k.

is anyone familiar with pay differentials, negotiating for a temporary raise, or some other compensation for extra work? 3 coworkers on my team have recently resigned, and certain shifts are being expected to work at half staff until new hires can be brought on. if my workload is being doubled, i expect to be compensated, as they are paying one employee to do the work of two. any suggestions on wording for how to address this?
