My title is Marketing Director at a small company in a small town. Im 24 and I currently make $60k with 3 years of marketing experience. Am I underpaid? If so what should I be paid, and how do I go about asking for it?

I’d ask to have your title change to reflect your experience. If you want to go somewhere else, they may be very confused/not take your current experience seriously with such an inflated title.

like

Small shops tend to have over inflated titles in order to seem like they have more expertise than they actually do. They do their staff a disservice bc that Director title won’t mean anything elsewhere since you don’t have adequate experience to back it up.

You’re not underpaid bc you’re actually at an AE level and 60k at that level is standard, even for a larger market. I agree with @AS that asking them to give you a realistic title will help you with future roles unless you plan on staying at your current shop for the next 5-7 years.

This is a very interesting point of view but helpful

At a small company in a small town there really is no set amount. It will vary wildly. If you want more, you’d probably have Tom leverage your experience into a job somewhere else.

For your location and experience, I’d say 60k is maybe even a little high. Title is irrelevant.

60K and three years of experience in a small town depending on your cost of living there could be reasonable. If you were to leverage your experience elsewhere, you'd really have to sell your experience bc I wouldn't be surprised if some hiring managers don't end up giving that much credit to a 3 YOE total director from what I assume is a small, local organization.

I have 5 years experience at a large agency and I just started making $65k. I tried going to a smaller place in a smaller town and asking for $65k with 5 years experience and they laughed in my face because it was too high.

Hello Fishes,
I am currently having 9 YOE. I have 2 offers:
1. Lead Engineer from Siemens Healthineers
2. Software Engineer from QSC, LLC.

In QSC, HR told that the grade and the designation are similar world wide, so after 2-3 year I will be promoted to Senior Software role. QSC is offering 11% more salary then Siemens.

I don't have any issue with the position, but don't want to take wrong decision. Which one to join?
