If you want back to your first salary negotiation, what would you do differently? I definitely would have asked for more, especially once I found out how much my peers were making.

I would have actually negotiated. I didn't even really know you could ask for more and I know I left money on the table.

Always ask for more. Never accept the first offer.

I would've pushed for more non-comp benefits. PTO specifically. I never thought to negotiate for it until I was almost a decade into my career.

I would have negotiated more when I got a promotion. I ended up getting stuck at that level for a while and then had to leave to get the raise I was asking for after I learnt more about salary bands and what others were getting paid. Anyway you live and you learn.

Hello! I noticed some similar questions to the one I am about to ask and I apologize if I am being repetitive but I didn’t see this specifically (I am new so sorry if I am missing it).

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?
