If they’re paying you under 60k, I’m sorry but that’s a junior salary. A normal mid range is anywhere from 70-80k, and I do have friends who managed to get 85-90 as mids with 2-3 years. It sounds like you’re being severely underpaid and should try to jump.

Between $60–80K and I feel like there’s a big difference between two years and three.

Good point. I’d also like to add if even though it’s a little over two years, does having significant wins over the past year on multiple accounts count as a reason to have an increase in salary if I am being paid slightly under 60k?

I have 2.5 years exp and make 70k with a 12k bonus
