I’ve been having this conversation a lot at the National training. I live in a high COL(New York) and my salary is higher but if you look at COL, I’m still not making anything, it doesn’t really make up for. I could go on and on but what I’m trying to say is, that’s good

Good! I started January 2016 and I think I was making $45.5k, low COL area. Now I’m in the 60s!

Bad, I started in the SE (low COL) at 54,000.

Good. I was 62 in high COL

I started out making 45k in 2007 in Milwaukee. These responses sound awful

Not great. I started out making $50k in 2003

52k in 2015 low COL. If very low COL then that could be reasonable.

mine was 56k in 2016 in Low COL

No. I just had BA. I believe all of the people in my start class started with the same salary

I had just a BA also. All hires got 45k in 2007 at this company and city

No, I had a bachelor’s.

@PWC op, master or BA for a first year makes no difference

I’m currently an AE and was offered a promotion to sales manager. I’ve been waiting for this next step but the offer only provides a 5% raise over what I currently make. We had several manger seats open and I know external people we hired received an offer atleast 20-30% more than I did.
I’m currently trying to negotiate but there doesn’t seem like there’s willingness to do so from our hiring team. Should I decline? Should I leave? Should I accept and start looking elsewhere?
