Let's talk salary! What is your title, salary, location, years of experience and do you feel you are fairly paid?
For me: Director of Operations, $60K, Austin, TX, 4 YOE, & I feel I am incredibly underpaid.

Agree with Consulting Analyst. It’ll depend on industry, but Director level should be well over $100k.
However, having the title of “Director” doesn’t necessarily mean you are actually a Director-level employee with corresponding duties & responsibilities. Title inflation can really skew expected salary, especially in small companies.

Now, that’s not to say that your title is inappropriate for your role. I’m just giving food for thought. If you feel your title does match your role, then you are most definitely underpaid.

Whoa. "Underpaid" is an understatement. You should be making at least twice that.

Congratulations! That is an incredible salary! I am also interested in what city or state you are located in and how many YOE you have?

I don't think pay is ever "fair" and the market has been so insane...we're just along for the ride lol. I do think you should be making closer to 70k

Yikes! I definitely think you’re underpaid. I live in Seattle. When I was a HRIS Analyst with 2 years of relevant experience, my initial salary was $85k with annual bonus target of 5%…I later found out that base was on the low end of their range!

Would have to wholeheartedly agree. Sorry.

HR Manager in Phoenix. I work in non-profit + social services. 9 years of progressive HR with a Bachelor's, only 2.5 years in management. I make $67k and know I am making only a few thousand less than our market comps at the 75th percentile. This is common for our roles since we are a non-profit, but I have fringe benefits with my employer that I won't trade right now for higher pay.

Admin Asst. San Antonio, TX., 5yrs admin experience, 4yrs claims experience, and $55k + bonus depending on company performance. I do not feel fairly compensated due to how many people I support.

You are definitely underpaid for that amount of experience!

10 YOE in HR/Talent Acq. and no degree. I'm currently working as a Remote Sr. Recruiter making a $90k base (no profit sharing/incentive or stock options). I feel that I should be making more based on my skillets and years of experience.

Hopefully, the commissions make it worth it!

Data Analyst: 2 YOE, $70K. I think my salary is fair. However, I feel you are underpaid. Hope something better turns up for you!

I agree with you, your salary does seem pretty fair, however, I am definitely underpaid. Thank you so much! I am hoping to receive a raise that will allow me to stay at my current job! Living in Austin, TX is not getting any cheaper!

How many YOE & are you currently happy with your salary?

I am overwhelmed by all the comments I got and support as well! I wanted to add some more context -
I have been with my current company for 3 years, and just had my anniversary! While I am Director of Operations and do everything one does in that role, I am also responsible for - Accounting, Bookkeeping, Payroll, Onboarding - Health & Retirement Benefits -, Small Business Taxes (Up to 18 states so far), and so much more.
It seems as everyone agrees I am underpaid, so -
What do you feel would be fair compensation?
