My salary was the same when I started, but I didn’t know benchmarks to compare. Are you just venting? Which is fine. Or are you trying to find some benchmarks? Given my experience you’re never going to make as much as NYC etc and comparing makes you angry. Or you could take your 2 years of experience and see where else you could paid that much

Are you in a internal audit role or risk assurance?

Yeah it’s shitty but depending on your location Cost of living is significantly lower than where the majority of FB lives

@SM1 Internal Audit. Does this explain it?

EY2 I live in TX. Yes COL is lower here, but I just still can't believe my Comp is this low

IA does explain it as those roles start lower than tech or management consulting

@EY2 venting, looking for benchmarks, re-evaluating my decisions. Working on fixing this misery | @SM1 thanks for your input

@EY2, yes cost of living is a little lower in Texas, but shit ain't free. @OP, that's discouragingly low, no matter where you live (unless that's in your parent's basement). The median home price in my zip code is $350,000. You can't afford to buy a home in Texas on a 65k salary. I'm sorry, @OP :-(

C1- sorry for being the bearer of that news. Do you enjoy internal audit? If so, many industry IA jobs pay well. If you don't, can you pivot into other types of risk and control work? Risk transformation usually pays the highest in the risk realm.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

I received an offer from a firm that has been persistently seeking me, although I wasn’t looking. Work arrangement, benes, & title are similar to my current position, but they are offering $16k more than my current salary. I did just negotiate my raise in July, from 11% to 20%. I am very content with my current employer, but hubby thinks I need to bring this to HR. I don’t want to rock the boat, and I figured I should wait until next year and factor that into my annual raise. Thoughts?

Curious here - my buddy just became a “Director” of Business Development in a LCOL area for a professional sports team. He likes to brag about how much he makes but I don’t really buy it. Obviously it’s subjective depending who you ask. Also, “director” gets thrown around willy nilly now. Any idea what someone like this makes? Seems like a couple years ago he was just selling tickets which kind of sell themself. Wondering if I should go do something similar since I’m sales oriented lol.
