I’ve been applying for roles for 6 months and interviewed with over 10 companies and still can’t land anything. Even the most promising of opportunities have fell through. I have impressive experience and I’ve worked on huge brands, and I never get any feedback from interviewers that tells me where I’m missing the mark - “the team loved you”, “you were great!” I’ve done everything - mock interviews, resume reviews, networking and I’m beyond discouraged about where I am right now. What to do😕

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?
