I haven’t been a travel consultant for long. I just really got into this career. I’m actually thinking this is it. I never had a job where I could say I love my job until now. Before this I was into Tech. I was a Tech specialist, I do have a degree in business. I always known customer service/Tech. I finally hit 25 and I’m ready too settle down and find my forever career. I reside in Louisiana and I make about 45k salary. What advice could you give me? Should I look for other options?

It's awesome that you've found your niche! Maybe it's your location, but $45k sounds low to me. I'd think more like $60k. The good news is, there are plenty of options in travel consulting. Have you tested the waters elsewhere to see if there are any other opportunities in your area, or remote?

Yes it is low and it’s a remote position. I work for Amex and we do get uncapped bonuses every 3 months, but I just feel so low balled as far as my salary. This is actually my first job as a travel consultant. I went totally out my comfort zone too explore other options while I’m still young.

Enjoy your experience as much as you can, continue to seek new roles but be calculated in your approach. You might (or might not) also love your job in another opportunity where you can grow

Your salary seems a bit low, but I guess you have time to excel if you've just started. Plus, there is nothing better than finding a job you love! Best of luck for the future!

Hi ! I have gotten an offer via email for what I believe is level 9 data visualization specialist in the dc area. I have a masters and 3.5 years of consulting experience. I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)

I just had the initial call with HR. I was told that Senior Analysts start at 56k and Business Operations Specialists start at 67k.

I have an MBA and an MHA and 20 years military experience.
