Got promoted last month. 10% raise brought me to $104K. Still hourly.
I've been in advertising for 6 years. Salaried market rate for my level runs $130K+. My company celebrated this like a win. I smiled and said thank you.
Being hourly at this stage isn't just a pay issue, it's a signal about how they see you. Has anyone negotiated their way to salaried, or did it take leaving?

Be careful with that. I’ve seen people get salaried and make less money when they run the numbers.

Are you eligible for overtime? I always liked being hourly because I still got paid for my overtime. Now I just have to work overtime that I am not getting paid for. That being said, it might be time to start looking for something else based on how underpaid you are.

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
