Hi Friends, I need help! I interviewed for my current position as Director of Marketing and Sales and gave a 60-70k salary range. I was hired on at 55k base with a 6,000 annual bonus putting me at 61k. They low balled me because I have 8 years of marketing experience but 0 sales. I been there 7 months now and have not started the sales side of things because they still have not provided me with a computer that can handle the software I need. Can I justify a raise? I’m killing the marketing side.

Sounds like you are already massively underpaid to be a Director title making anything less than 100K in today’s economy.

Idk where you live but you are underpaid.
Start looking. Do research and figure out your worth.
Time for a big raise! You have the title already, use it to your advantage and find an employer that values you.

I live in an area with an average income of 80,000 for this title, the company I work for is controlled by the county so it’s local county salary.

In addition to asking for more $$ ask for the tools to do your job! Since you're crushing it on the marketing side they're probably not prioritizing the sales side of your job (the downfall of doing well sometimes 🙄) Explain to them that you need these tools to do your job and grow into the full scope of your job, and that you feel it's also holding you back in terms of earnings too.

Good luck !

I was making more than that out of college and was still seriously underpaid. 10 yoe, director title, marketing experience. If I were you, I'd be applying for roles in different (bigger) companies. Make sure you research the companies' compensation and apply for something within that range. $150k is not too big for a director title unless if your title is inflated.

I agree with the previous posters. Director title alone should get you in the mid 100k range. I feel like I low balled myself because of my previous organization. Ask for more and definitely present your facts.
