I was earning $95k with 3.5 years programmatic media experience (in NYC) and was told by my manager when I got that raise that it was unfairly low because of Covid. I have coworkers in programmatic making today $125k with 5 years experience

like

Ask for $120k.
$105k is the bare minimum depending on your exact experience. But if you’ve been there long enough and proved you can to the job, I’d shoot for 10% more than what you’re making.

7 years experience in Programmatic, $200k base, $65k bonus, work at a DSP

Roughly 6-7 years performance marketing experience. Current base salary is ~$100k, but this is definitely below market rate

Thanks all. They ended up offering me $110k… still lower than where id like to be but didn’t sound like they could do much make due to where the company is financially. Any advice?

Do much more *

Where are you working?

Good luck. I don't know what you'll find in terms of data, but I can say that at 7 years, you should be getting $80-$120k.

Yeah, you shouldn't be at the lower end, but it's possible, especially in certain markets or companies that pay little - but all of that means it's time to get more

manager of programmatic should be around $100k - next level up would be around $120

I'd just caveat that titles are often very inflated at agencies with "managers" sometimes as junior as entry level. But an actual person managing a team should be in that range

7.5 years experience, client side, $140k

6 years experience in paid social was making 75k base + bonus bringing to around 90k

just came here to ask if ur looking for a job bc it shouldn’t be this hard to get a raise geez! but 4 years paid social, same job title as you, $92k + 10% bonus

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
