Decent relative to overall country? Yeah definitely. It will take a while to get to 100k as it’s back office. In some firms it’s an hourly position.

Define "decent amount of money"? Backoffice and operations roles pay well, but not compared to other positions in the FS industry. Depends on what you feel comfortable making.

I think that all depends on what you consider decent money.

Hi All,
I am feeling lost in job. So I’ve applied for Accounts payable they offered 40k. I said why not to gain some experience. I didn’t even bother negotiating which I regret.
Fast forward I noticed that I was eventually handed everyone’s workload (AR & imports & duty and check coworker work + AP) Spoke to them about pay increase based on workload. So they raised it to 55k.. but I still feel underpaid based on the amt of work I do. I don’t know what my title or what to put on resume..
