43 for an AAE is on the higher end among NYC agencies. Yes it's not much money for cost of living but you could be worse. I make 35 (and understand I'm on the lower end)

You'll double that once you get to AE/SAE.

Someone just posted this this weekend. Scroll down. But yeah, any entry level in this industry is murderous hours and shit pay. Sorry little dude. But it does get better.

That's kinda rough, but overall I think most agencies are good at periodic (at least yearly) reviews and raises. Good luck!

43 in NY is hard, but just work yourself to the next level as quickly as you can. Life will be bearable and get better in a few...

Yes, as others mentioned, it does get better, but your starting salary at AAE is not out of the norm... Hang in there and please live within your means / get roommates / live outside Manhattan, etc.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

I am currently a biomedical engineer at @U.S. Food and Drug Administration with over two years of experience. I would like to hear everyone's experience navigating the GS increase (salary raise) as a government employee. Here are some questions for discussion. How long did it take you to be promoted to the next pay grade? What do you think contributed the most to that salary increase? If you transitioned into the private sector, what drove you to make this decision? Thanks!

Got another global travel advisory re: covid 19 screenings. Anyone actually seeing changes at airports (for Schengen flights) lately? I haven’t.

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.
