I'm looking to gage typical salary for my current position, I'll be asking for a raise next week and I know I am being grossly underpaid.

I'm a sales assistant working in retail manufacturing for a swimwear supplier based in NYC. I make 48k before tax, which I feel is extremely under-market value for this location.

I have been with the company for 1.5 years now and have recieved a 60 cent raise & 1200 Christmas bonus (pre-tax). Any advice on a reasonable increase? Would love a gym stipend

Depends on what sales assistant is. But imo 48k for an full time job is underpaid.

In short- assisting a senior executive in the management of several private label fashion brands.

48k in NYC? Absolutely

Historically, fashion never pays well but for the year 2022 in the most expensive city in the country, this is unlivable. I have friends back in Florida who say 48k would even be impossible for them!

I’m salary 47k (just received 2k salary bonus lol) with commissions, but I’m remote. I also make commission as well, which puts me somewhere around 55-65k which I estimate

I'd definitely say you're being underpaid. Glassdoor has the average salary for your role at $68k TC (salary + bonus/commission/perks). I'd start looking if I were you.

That's too low. Considering it's NYC. You should be earning around $60-$70.

I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from
Sprout Social and Gong. Both salaries are around the same (Gong - base 63k + anticipated $25k in commission, Sprout - 55k base + anticipated $25k in commission).

I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year.

For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
