In LA. If I intern for 3 months and then get offered a junior position at $50k – is that low and should I negotiate?

Holy crap after i interned i got offered 27k for a jr role

Always worth negotiating, but probably won’t get much more.

Overtime is KEY as a junior - find out if you are eligible for overtime at 50k. If not, see if you can negotiate down to 45 and earn overtime. My first gig as a junior was $45k + overtime, and I ended up taking away around 70 at the end of the year.

I really just want $55k so I don’t have to be so broke all the time

Also that's a pretty realistic amount. I think Deutsch la pays their Jr copywriters a bit more. But my NYC friends get roughly around there

like

I think that's pretty standard (50-55K)

like

with that said, I'd push for 55 and if they can't budge, see how things like PTO or education reimbursement can supplement

like

Coming from intern to full time your leverage is basically zero. Also, that 5k isn’t much across 26 paychecks and you’ll also be getting overtime so it’s more like 60 at the end of it.

I don’t think this is a bad starting point but you can try to negotiate! Especially if it’s the place you interned for they like that you already have a sense of how things work and can just jump in. Good luck ☺️

As a junior working in LA (at a smaller agency) I fought for more and ended with 57k know your worth and have confidence. I personally would fight for 57k so that after negotiations you end at 55k

They wanted to start me up at 45 but got them to get me up to 65

I started at 50 in nyc in 2013

50 is standard.

Big difference in just a few years. I started at 35 in 2007 in sf

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

Heads or Tails?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
