I’m a Paid Ads Specialist and I was wondering how much a normal company would pay at entry level for someone like me. My background includes a BS in Marketing with a very high GPA and one year of professional experience. I have paid search, display, remarketing, and social media knowledge & experience.

I would say between 55-65k

I agree with around 65k at a big agency. However GPA doesn’t matter here at all I wouldn’t even bring it up - the experience matters way more at this point

like

60k tops.
Probably 45-50 depending on the size of the company

That depends on what city you live in. For top cities like NY, Chicago, LA, I would say between 70-80k.

They’ll pay you around $60K and plow the field at a agency. But you’ll make some good experience upping your game
