Totally depends on the agency, and the market isn't what it was even 5 years ago, but as a base-pay (not including merits, bonus, sign on) I would assume for a Director you're looking at a range of 150-175

like

Have just recently been in job market in Chicago, that range is correct. I was offered $160 for director level with 10+ years experience. The market is definitely lower than 5 years ago.

175-200K Especially, if it’s big Pharma. Hopefully, they gave you a salary range & bonus. 💕🥰

I have observed that people on testing domain or frontend are getting better pay than other new tech domains like blockchain, cyber security, data sci etc(4-11yr exp) .
For less than 4 years experience new tech job gettig good pay but others getting very less.

In dev job Java, spring r etc getting better pay. Also some SAP consultant are also get paid high.
Is exp people in testing/frontend dev are less due to which they getting better pay than others with experience.

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!
