Not necessarily a true comparison, but I can say that when I last had a full time job I was getting $60k a year as a mid level producer with 6 years experience. And after getting laid off, I started freelancing where I was getting $100 an hour. The company i freelanced at kept me on for a full year and I got over triple the salary I would have made had I not been laid off at the first company. I made around $190k that year.

It drastically changed my life for the better, and freelancing still does.

30k salary bump twice so far. In the game less than 5 years. Only recently started to make 6 figures. Am 32. Feels good. But curious to hear from other producers.

more than doubled my salary when i switched companies and took a promotion. a salary increase freeze and the pandemic happened in between the company switch so both of these contributed to the doubling of salary.

Wow congrats!

20-30% is highest I’ve gotten. But just got 20% from an already decent salary, so I’m satisfied with that.

35k

+$100k in a year going contract at big tech

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?
