Hi, I've been working in my company for almost 2 years, its my 2nd full time job. and I had over 6 years experience in this role (even as account manager) within a year I got promoted from Account executive to Senior account executive in my company. I really wanna know the salary range. its more of account management and print production, no bonus at the end of the year. But the range varies a lot between companies. is 55-60K range low?

I felt that’s a
Low range.

I work in a pharma agency (Chicago) and started as an AE there in 2020 at 60k and was promoted 2 years later to an SAE at 71k. TBH, that is below agency standards, and my agency started someone at 85k as an SAE so it’s below my agency’s standard. I’m not happy with my pay, so I’m looking elsewhere.

A lot goes in to your pay and of it will depend on your experience; some is time spent in the role and some is location. Pay bands also have to be taken into consideration, though it sounds like you could be on the low end of the band structure. Also, your increase if you get promoted after a year is likely going to be lower than if you spent two years in that position.

TLDR: you’re underpaid. I would see if you can figure out with others at your level make (or made if they’ve been promoted) so you can see where you stack up. Then you’ll have to decide if you want to ask for more, but a lot of places will make you show them an offer from a comparable company before they increase your pay.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
