Kicking off salary negotiations with a new agency.
I have just over 4 years experience (Toronto) and they’re offering 80k. Is that good? Bad? Average? Looking for advice 🙏

I don’t know Canadian dollar but in American in NYC I would say that’s good/high average

That feels high for 4 years in Toronto.
So take it.

Agree with above, that’s good.

That’s a good high in nyc. It varies significantly from state to state in the US.

I've got 4 years of experience just at this agency in NY and am barely making that - and we pay for health insurance. Take the money.

What’s the agency?

That’s a good salary, take it. See if you can get 4 weeks vacation and health benefits starting day 1 (most Canadian agencies offer them by default without negotiation).

So curious which one! I think that sounds fair. That’s around what I was on there with about the same experience

If you’re hearing from others in your department that it’s high, there might be danger pay. Ask around, what’s the agency reputation?

Do it.

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?
