I just asked for 90k salary w/ benefits. Is that a crazy ask?

Recently had my 1 year review. I started as the sole photo/videographer/editor at $35/hr 30hr/s a week. The business has increased IG from 3k->100k+ and youtube 1k->10k+ since my addition. These are def from my efforts as they were stuck previously. I've been working unpaid OT many weeks and management told me to choose a salary that would help me say no to freelance projects and focus more on the company. Thoughts? A New Yorker.

You are getting taken to the cleaners. You need more in NYC to live. Like 150-200 atleast . The reality is, they likely wont cough up 2x more your current rate. So what you do is , line up another gig for more money. Negotiate it, make sure you get paid a ton. THEN ask this current for more, they say no; tell them you gotta leave. Ask for 10% more then the offer you got. Be prepared to leave always!

Totally reasonable imo

I agree with everyone else above that I would ask for more than that if I were you. I definitely think that is a reasonable ask but you always want to ask for more than where you actually want to end up so there is some room for negotiating on both sides

I would ask for more if they are asking you to focus on this job full time and not take side gigs/freelance projects. Especially if you can tie the work you have done to better performance
