Yes, even depending on the city this feels low! Best of luck getting the pay you deserve!

I would agree this seems low.

Yes. I make 95k as an SAE with the same credentials

Geez, 95k as a base?

Your degree means nothing to the discussion, sorry to say since you spent a bunch for it.

But yes, that’s on the low end even in cheaper markets like Kansas City, where I live. Have you gotten raises consistently the past 3 years?

No need to be sorry. Didn’t cost me more than a new car thanks to scholarships & I’ve definitely seen benefits of having it (despite only having it a couple months). I’d do it again & encourage anyone to get more education it makes sense. The reality is, it does make a significant difference. Though I do appreciate your input.

I just started at a new job after leaving my first e-commerce account management job. CEO was dishonest & wanted me to run his company at entry level so I moved.

How I see is the degree itself doesn’t matter so much, what matters is you’re constantly learning. That constant effort to learn makes the difference with performance.

I appreciate that. I can see what you mean, It can be easy to get carried away with numbers and forget other important points. Thank you.

Not sure whether to be honest or not in this situation. I have decided that I want to leave my job and do a masters degree. I’m planning to leave my job at the end of June, should I warn my boss now so she can start hiring? I don’t want her to be blindsided by my decision and hiring is very slow at the moment. Plus if they hire someone I can train the transition will be easier? But I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot if they were thinking or giving me a pay rise or promoting me?
