I started as an intern making $15 an hour. After 3 mos went full time. They offered me ~$65k and I negotiated up to ~$75K since I had a competing offer for $88k.
After 1 year I got a raise to $83k.
Another 1.5 years I requested a raise and am now at $92k. I manage an intern and a full-time staff as well as a Marketing part-time assistant.
