I'm making 40k/year, but I've read that I might be able to make up to 65k. Is that true?

What is your title? Are you full time?

My technical title it Veterinary Hospital Administrator. I'm in VA Beach. It's a smaller hospital, but I think $40k is suuuper low from what I've been reading. I've only been here for about 9 months, and I was desperate for a job when I got the job. But now that I have realized how underpaid I probably am, I wonder if I should ask for a raise or look elsewhere.

Totally depends on your position and your location. In coastal cities, absolutely you should be able to make 65k. But if you're in the midwest it might be more challenging! Look up specific salary ranges in your area and for your title/YoE.

I'm a Veterinary Hospital Administrator in VA Beach. I've only been in the position for 9 months. I know sometimes people ask for a raise after a year or so. I wonder how much I would be safe asking for at that point?

Yup, I'm sure another hospital will offer a higher salary for you to work with them. Would you consider working at another state, though?

There is a shortage of veterinarians right now and an overall high of pet ownership, so you might be able to ask for 65k and receive it. Although, it may be likely that you ask for that and then negotiate down to a middle mark of around 55k. Good luck!

It depends on a variety of things like your location, years of experience and the size of the clinic but $65k is also possible

Just replied to another thread about this but the National Veterinary Professionals Union might have info on this

Currently I make a base of $63k/yr and $1k/mo in bonuses pre-tax. I manage a performance for a team of licensed insurance agents (service-based role in a direct business environment), maintain our business relationships, and support adhoc training needs. Is there anyone else in this type of role who is able to share how this compares to similar positions and your general location?

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?
