HR Manager Salary

I'm a bilingual professional and I have a work experience of nearly 7 years in HR. When I started my career as an HR assistant 7 years ago, I gave my best in learning the basics of this profession. Although, my salary was not very high in those years, I was enjoying my work and could see tremendous growth in this field. After 2002, globalization further accelerated our business projects and now, my firm has branches in the East, Middle East and Latin American countries. I have been promoted to a senior HR position and although the workload is high, I find it very challenging to deal with variety of people and recruit talented individuals. Human resource manager salary is quite decent and at par with the market standards." ~ Jack Philips, Massachusetts.
