I work at a luxury menswear store in NYC making $22/hr. I do IT support, Shopify maintenance, SEO (CTR +45%, add-to-cart +53%, session duration +32%, clicks +65% in 3 months), Python scripts for inventory automation, and cybersecurity risk oversight (prevented vendor API key exposure). I feel my boss mostly sees me as the college student who fixes tech stuff, but my work spans technical support, store maintenance, SEO, automation, and even risk mitigation. What’s a fair hourly wage for this mix?

I agree with the comment above. You are VERY underpaid. You should be making a lot more than that. I would do research on what similar roles pay in your area and then ask for a raise.

It's impossible to gauge the quality of your work. I am sure you have searched for other jobs but you are stuck there, that tells me that you probably are getting what you deserve.

While I see what you mean in terms of gauging the quality of my work, I'm more so asking if my skills are really worth the $22/hr (clearly others disagree). I havent looked for other jobs as much during the school year but as I near the end of my 3rd year ive been trying to see my career past a retail store.

Definitely more tbh

It sounds to me that you should be making at least double what you're paid. I can understand if your boss figures in the fact that you're still in school, into determining your pay; however, that is still way too low!!

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
