I moved to America 10 years ago through an internship program. For the first year under the program, I didn't get paid but a stipend which was $500 per month (I lived in San Francisco bay area so you can understand how I struggled financially back then).

Then my company hired me full time, paying me $13 an hour, then $15. Finally they made me salary where I made $50k. I left the company making $65k. Now Im at a new company, my base is $95k. I'm 34. Am I making too little for my age?

I don't think age is really a food benchmark.

Depends more on industry, specific job, education, experience, and region.

The median income in America across all households is around $65k. So by that measure you’re doing well. But whether you’re underpaid based on your experience and education is impossible to say based on what you’ve shared here.

Hi everyone, I got hired on as entry level sales operations role back in January. It quickly turned into sales, and eventually all the sales for the small company once the head of sales left. I am happy to take on the additional role for my company, and they are going to let me. But they feel that without multiple people in a sales department the title head of sales might not be the best title. I have input in what my updated position title and salary would be. What should I ask for?
