Policy Analyst getting low-balled?
September 5, 2006 4:13 PM Subscribe
What salary should a policy analyst working for a non-profit research institute in D.C. expect?
The details: applicant has a Master's of Public Administration and four years experience working for state government as a policy analyst. He has to relocate to the D.C. area from a considerably cheaper area of the country where he is making $43,000 +30% fringe.
The employer is a non-profit research institute, sort of like the Kaiser Foundation or Urban Institute.
Just looking for some guidelines for my boyfriend to start salary negotiations as we can't any similar positions online with a salary range posted (ditto for salary.com--there wasn't anything too similar). We'd appreciate knowing what he should consider insultingly low and how high he can suggest without insulting them!
