Currently an account manager for a $10 million construction co. I earned $33k last year + commission. I sold $2.7 million last year and my total pay was $92,000. The co recently lost several managers which resulted in me being offered a marketing coordinator position, salary range is $40,000-$50,000. I offered to take on an additional full time role in addition to account management & the first offer was 40k salary + commission. Is a $50k total in salary + commission too much to ask for?

I feel that a $40k salary for 2 positions is not fair. In my opinion, that's a $7,000 bonus for taking on a second position.

Fwiw I consider all of your compensation examples here exceedingly low.

Unfortunately, I am also weary of these conversations because of what I suspect to be Rocky economics for the foreseeable future.

I feel like this is way too low, and you're right to be questioning it. You need to bump it p to 60k IMO or even a bit higher so they settle on something in the right area. But even then, this strikes me as being underpaid
