Already this year, I’ve had several stimulating conversations with risk and HR leaders who have provided suggestions and inputs for the 2025 compensation survey exercise. Each year, we try to do better!
Today’s post is just a brief commercial for the 204 report, and a targeted offer of aid to a specific segment of risk staffers who might want some data in support of their career paths. More below.
The Report
When people (who didn’t participate directly and receive their complimentary copy) reach out looking to secure a copy of the report, it’s typically one of two scenarios:
- A manager looking for comprehensive data across roles, geographies and firm demographics, in order to inform hiring budgets and/or staff compensation adjustments
- An individual looking for specific information regarding their particular role and compensation level (typically to benchmark their current comp or inform job hunting negotiation)
That’s why I offer a few paths to and forms of comp data:
- Firms can pay a fee to secure an internal use only copy of the survey directly from me. (Copyright registration on file, sharing would be risky, folks!)
- This year, firms can alternatively reach out to my 2024 report sponsor, who secured limited redistribution rights, which can enable you to bypass the fee if you want to talk to those nice folks.
- Individuals can pay a much lower fee to receive a personalized benchmark. This provides a select view of compensation data, based on their particular role, geography, and firm size band.
The Select Offer
If you’re a risk management professional, working at a law firm that has made public, disappointing decisions in response to recent executive demands, and you’re exploring pursuing new employment, I want to help.
To do that, I’m offering individuals in this particular segment a complimentary personal salary benchmark report. (Those high-power partners, with books of business and lateral prospects, have plenty of options and support, if they want it. For the risk crew, this isn’t much, but it’s something I can do.)
Feel free to get in touch with me (you can respond to this email, message me on LinkedIn, or reach out via your personal email).
I’m also always happy to connect with any individual who didn’t participate in the survey but wants a personal benchmark. That fee isn’t designed to be onerous, more to encourage future participation.
But the free offer is for this particular group, which hopefully doesn’t grow. And it’s for a limited (undetermined) time.
