No. That seems low to me

I have very similar tenure to you and make 10% more than that in Atlanta. It’s within range but you can absolutely push for more.

Damn I’m underpaid in Atlanta. Is your agency hiring?

it’s average. that’s exactly what I made with 8 yrs exp. also depends on how many years you’ve been a director. i made that as my first director job now I have 12 years exp and make $200.

Great to know! Thanks a lot!

I’d say it’s below average-to-average. Same experience here and I just crossed that threshold

Mainly recruiter overtures. Your strategy makes sense and I am trying to do that but seems unlikely I’ll get two offers to line up time wise. 130-140 seems reasonable, no?

Seems low to me. Are they offering a bonus?

Unclear. I try to assume they’re not and to push for the high end of the average base salary range.

It’s within the range but low. I’ve been interviewing for AD roles and asking for $150. Would gladly take $150, probably pass on $125.

I’m in a smaller market, just under 100k with 15 years experience, so this is comforting.

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour.

My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?
