If money were no object...

I'm not gonna lie, I daydream about hitting that magical 7-figure salary. 🤑 I know it's a long shot, but what would life be like then? No more budgeting for avocado toast, that's for sure. I'd finally buy that penthouse apartment and maybe even a weekend place in the Hamptons. 🏖️ Plus, I could finally travel the world in style, not just during those two weeks of PTO. But most importantly, I'd be able to help out my family and give back to my community in a meaningful way.

What's your dream salary and what kind of life would it unlock for you?

Aspire to something bigger in life than a high income

You’re just thinking of a salary. Not the crazy hours and hard work it will take to get there. If salary is your sole goal, you won’t be one of the ones to get there. You have a lot to learn kid.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. 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?

I got a verbal offer from a WPP agency today. The role's budgeted salary is 5k less than my desired salary.

I'm coming from a small agency, so I could be wrong - but I don't want to sell myself short by accepting the first salary they offer. Do I have any room to negotiate? Or is that risky?

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.
