I'd say closer to $45k.

When you get to your next level (intermediate) you should be getting $60-$65k.

Don't let people fool you - $45 and $50 were typical for more junior folks 5 or 10 years ago, but Toronto is getting more and more expensive and you can barely live on $45 here now. IMO $60k is what it takes to barely be comfortable.

Boggles my mind that anyone can be in a special skill field and getting paid less than $50k in Toronto. I know people who started at $40k salary 30 years ago. And while rent and home prices have more than doubled in that time. Salaries are essentially the same as they were then. Such a broken economy.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
