This will depend on location. Some large brands based in low cost of living states, others in NYC.

Based on my research, assistant positions are around 65-80k and associate roles should range anywhere between 100-130k. If someone tries to pay you below that just know that they are ripping you off.

I’m in CPG brand team. Also wondering about the average pay

At PepsiCo in Chicago I started at $90K as an Assistant (this is not our entry level and I had BBA + 2.5 years Brand management experience) and then up to $100K with promotion to Associate. What’s the pay at your companies?

Yeah BM1 which location was that for?

Need some advice. Started working at a small real estate marketing agency about 2 months ago. Pay is good but…It’s absolutely toxic. The CEO is a jerk. Some of the content I work on is okay, but I don’t see this place doing much for my portfolio in the long run. How long should I stay or should I just bail ASAP? Are all agencies really like this?

How does one find direction in what they want to do in life? I don’t find my job as a tax manager fulfilling and my busy time conflicts with some of my favorite hobbies, skiing and snowmobiling. I find it hard to determine my next step because I’m all about relationships, love my clients and am a sales/big picture thinker, so naturally industry doesn’t interest me. I’ve been super lost for a few years and think I need to act on my unhappiness and get out while I’m young. Any advice?

Hello all. Thinking of switching from IT to VLSI after 4 yoe. Any suggestions?

It's always been a dream of mine to work at Google, specifically as a UX designer (currently transitioning into UX from visual design). I've been so afraid to apply to any jobs with UX title, Google or not, because I'm always doubting myself and telling myself I'm still under-qualified.

UX designers & hiring managers, what are the skills a designer must have to be "qualified" for a UX position? Keywords on resume? Certifications? Thank you all in advance!
