Compensation bands for HR roles have shifted a lot over the past year — more variation by industry and company stage than title alone seems to capture. If you're an HR Officer (or hiring one), what's the actual range you're seeing right now — base, bonus, any equity? Curious how it breaks down by seniority, and whether remote roles are paying differently than in-office ones.

In my experience, industry matters more than years of experience past a certain point. Tech and finance are still paying a premium over retail and hospitality for the same title.
Worth negotiating the benefits package separately from base — I've seen HR roles where the healthcare and PTO terms moved more than the salary number itself this cycle.
Mid-level HR Officer at a Series B startup here: base landed around the market median for my city, but the real gap this year has been in bonus structure — companies are tying more of it to retention metrics than they used to.
