1. Understand average salaries for project managers in the specific area you intend to work. Location will have a significant impact on pay scale.
2. Determine where you stand on the project manager career path. The pay trajectory scale will help you set salary expectations based on your experience level. With this information you can confidently leverage your experience when negotiating.
3. Actively communicate your high-demand skills. For project manager jobs, these include hard skills (knowledge of systems such as Jira or Microsoft Project, Agile experience, scheduling) and soft skills (leadership, organization, risk management). Include any certifications you have, such as Project Management Professional or Certified Scrum Master.

Total compensation involves more than just salary. As a project manager, you can expect to receive additional benefits from employers, as well. Potential benefits include:

• Flexibility and self-management: Project managers are entrusted with the health and success of their projects. Commensurate with that level of responsibility, you'll typically have freedom in execution methodology and personal scheduling as long as you're meeting goals and milestones.
• Travel opportunities: Companies often have multiple locations or work with overseas design and manufacturing partners. PMs are often encouraged to travel to on-site locations related to their projects in the course of their duties.
• Rapid advancement opportunities: Project management is a high-visibility job. PMs that perform well often receive recognition all the way up to the executive team. This can extend beyond a pat on the back to tangible benefits such as salary bonuses and other in-kind compensation.
