Probably in the long run and it depends on the lead duties. Do you have actual HR responsibility or is it leading a project or deliverables team? The difference I’d draw is that HR is harder. People are complex and not always rational - HR reporting responsibilities requires extra of you. Also deciding compensation can be hard depending on the comp structure and team - that’s extra as well. When given new leadership opportunities you should generally not go into it expecting to have your palm greased but you’d be right to expect marginal increases in your competition on your annual cycle.
