It can be as short as 1 year or as long as 5.

Usually in a major market you jump from the 65-80k range up to 90k-125k range

Can only speak for Europe, but this is much less about the title or time, and much more about ability. Senior means every time you get a brief you can crack it. If you’re the only team, they can count on you to deliver something that will push the client creatively but still be buyable. Mid and junior take swings and occasionally get lucky. Senior is consistent. If you feel you can do that, you’re ready. Can’t help much on pay as it’s very location specific.

I’ve worked at the same firm for almost 5 years. I’ve received an end of year bonus of varying sizes- my first year, my paycheck was doubled. The last 3 years, I’ve received 25k-30k bonuses. This year I received a bonus in April (20k) and one in July (15k) but I still expected an end of year bonus. I didn’t get it even though this has been my most profitable year yet. Should I just assume those earlier bonuses were INSTEAD of an end of year bonus or should I ask my boss?

Question about remote job negotiations

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?
