In perspective.
Compensation is difficult to compare without understanding responsibility, location and the complete employment proposition. A title alone cannot tell you whether two roles are equivalent.
Discuss fixed pay, variable pay, benefits and working arrangements separately. Consider the expectations attached to each part of the package.
Use market information as one input to a decision, not as a promise of an individual outcome. A fair proposition should also reflect internal responsibilities and consistency.
Keep in mind.
- Compare equivalent work
- Consider the complete package
- Keep internal consistency in view
