Good to see less responses to this than I was expecting but I'm not sure how much it represents the norm. 🤔

I work at a small rural school district in Indiana. My husband and I live in a modest 2 bedroom (with small office) home which is in a small town. If he passes away, I more than likely will need to sell the home and move into an apartment because I would not be able to afford to live there on my own with my student loan payments. So glad I spent thousands of dollars on this Master's degree in Education. Love my job, but one doesn't go into teaching for the money.

Newly appointed Sales director - over 6 years experience on the sales side - leading 5 other sellers. What do you think my salary should be - both base and commissions.

I’m an SE who works 2 AE’s, and from looking at the market am on the bottom end of the pay scale. The company I work for has many different products/services (80+), so they wanted SEs to take on a local “SME” role in a specific area, to support other members of the team.

This role has ramped up quite a bit recently, and people have been coming to me for help with their deals (overviews, demos, POCs) which is increasing my workload.

How would you approach asking for more money here? Thanks!
