S U R V E YR E S U L T S : Base Salaries Base Salaries:Overall Results Salary Value 50% of our survey respondents reported earning a base salary of $150k or less per year, while21% said they earned $151-200k annually. A further 14% reported earning $201-250k, and 15%exceeded $251k. Compared to last year’s findings, the percentage of professionals in mid-tier roles has decreasedslightly, which could reflect a mix of factors – from cost containment efforts and changes inheadcount distribution, to a cautious approach overall following recent volatility. “We’re just in a much more normal environment now. Firms are conscious of how muchthey’re paying for people, and getting more out of the people they have. It’s aboutproductivity and longer-term sustainability now,”reports Ben Hodzic, Managing Director– Head of Selby Jennings North America. Salary is just one part of the picture, but it remains a critical one. With professionals usuallyseeking significant increases when changing roles, employers must ensure their base salarybands are competitive, or risk missing out on top talent. Base Salaries:Overall Results Salary Changes & Expectations For those who received a base salary increase within the last 12 months, just under half (49%)said it was only by 1-5%. This level of increase is typical for merit-based progression and indicatesgreater stability and lower attrition across the industry. However, it’s also possible that somemade lateral moves externally to leave an unsatisfactory role, or pursue a position with otherforms of value. 25% said they received an increase worth 6-10% of their salary, and another 12%received a more substantial 11-15% raise.
