My partner is at 180K+ bonuses that average another 20% = ~$220. Although she’s interviewing for a new role that sounds like it’s going to be 160K base + incentives up to 300k.
I’m in a hybrid new biz + strategy + agency marketing role and my base is 175K + quarterly bonuses up to an additional 35-40% of my salary (last quarter was 33% bonus). So ~315K max (with top bonuses).
No idea whether either of these situations is typical, however. We are both at independent shops in a mid-tier city.
Add: my bonus structure has no ceiling. So I suppose if we kept killing it, could hit 400+. There’s money to be made for sure—but it’s also a total energy suck. Like, churn and burn.
I hear some will tip $375-$450k a year.. from a friend.
