Negotiating Salary as a Consultant Author: Lavie Margolin, Career Coach With companies being more hesitant to make a long term or fulltime commitment to an employee, consulting offers are becoming more and more prevalent. Some points to keep in mind as you get started:
A)
Do they want you to
work fulltime hours for the duration of the project? One has to
consider not only the work done for the company but the opportunity
cost of not doing work for someone else.
As with any
negotiation, it is always a good idea to listen to the offer first.
The offer might even come in higher than you had expected! If I was
pinned down for an answer on negotiating a salary range, I would say
to shoot for a 50% increase in your previous hourly rate (if you
remain in the same industry with similar responsibilities) and
accept a 33% increase.
By working as a
consultant, it may open the doors to many unique opportunities in
the future, both within consulting as well as an even better
fulltime position.
