Who seriously considers moving back in with parents?! Really?!

I did it, the bought a house. Traveled every week flexed a few times a month and couch surfed on party weekends.

I moved back in with my mom after college and moved out when I got married. It wasn't a hard decision. I only came home to do free laundry 🤗

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?
