I wish job salary data sites had better use of YOE. I mean someone could be a sr. Something with 3yrs or a sr. Something with 15 years.

I was at 74 with 4 years agency experience (which I felt was a bit lite). I think it should be more in the 80-90 range.

3 years of experience and you’re a Senior Writer? Does that mean you got promoted every year and you’re still complaining?

The idea that demanding fair compensation is complaining is, to put it mildly, absurd.

I was making $55k with roughly 3 years experience but this was over five years ago, so now it may be around $60k possibly? You can always start interviewing to see how much your experience pays and land a better job in the process.

There's also a Google sheet going around in one of the advertising bowls that lists the current rate of what copywriters should be making at various levels I believe. You should ask around for that unless someone can post it here.

SC2 I did mention this was over 5+ years ago. The next job I took after that one I made 70k and now currently holding at $120k (same job). I was guestimating $60k for 3 years for the person who posted this but I have no idea. And yes does depend on where they live.

Some job sites may have est salary info. Glassdoor may be a good place to also check.

I have 10 years of exp, with 3 years experience you should be junior/mid level max.

Hi Fishes,
Need help with the salary break-up. The break-up I have received contains various components like uniform allowance, professional development etc. Although the HR claoms they're supposed to be tax saving, I am not really sure how. I will really appreciate if someone can comment their views on this.
Thanks.

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
