Current Market salary range for Government Affairs professionals (in house)

[Anonymous]

Hopefully someone can help answer this tonight, but what's the current going salary range for government affairs professionals in the 0-3 and 2-5 year experience range with an in-house team?

I.E. working for JP Morgan or Citigroup's Government Affairs group or Ford's or Microsoft's (these are examples) in-house teams in dc?

Appreciate the insight!

oh and this is for a policy oriented role - not pr/marketing/admin focus.

What is the title? Associate? I'd say $75k is the median in the corporate world.

Christ, i would hope JPM, Citi, UPS, etc pay their in house people more than that.

For entry level? Really?

Coming off the Hill as a legislative correspondent or assistant? $50k. Exiting as a LD or press sec. could get you up to $80-90k.

Depends on experience but 85,000-low six figures.

I work in a group like this and we don't hire people with no experience except in quasi-admin jobs that may or may not turn into more. Coming off the Hill from a relevant MOC's staff can quickly get you into 6 figures.

I think the bump up in pay is bigger than this. I'd value good LA experience going into a government affairs office closer to $80K and LD experience around $100K+. Relevant but non-Hill experience can expect a bit less.

Depends. Around here, LAs looking to leave the Hill are a dime a dozen. At my biglaw firm we pay our 'policy analysts' 55k. Most have a few years of Hill experience, and we've never had a hard time getting candidates in the door.

An analyst with 0-5 years of experience? $40,000 range. The big money comes in when you become one of the bigger heavy hitting lobbyists on the Hill.

i know for a fact it isn't that low because i know 'analysts' at one of the firms mentioned in the first post and that's not what they get paid.

it might be 40k for a smaller company but not a blue chip publically traded f100 company
