I duno. I make 65 and I'm happy. I don't need much.
@Huge yeah I think I should be making a bit more too, but my life is more than my job. I don't have thirst for money. I'm rich in other things, as cheesy as it sounds.
@Creative 1 ...are you coastal US or somewhere in the middle?
Chicago.
What are those other things LB?
@Strat -flyover state
I was tipsy when I filled out my salary-there's an 85 in there somewhere
Huge1, what does it mean "should" be making more? There are a lot of other financial circumstances and personal values at play in life. U.S. has a massive problem with salary equating success. I can make easily another 20-30k right now in my field if electing to go back, but instead looking at stuff that's $50-70k less (nope, not a typo)
AE in NYC
35 -> 42.5 -> 55 -> 60 -> 70
About a 50k increase over last five years, started agency life at 105k in Dallas area.

My first VP came with something called Copy Supervisor.
