Two years into my role at a NYC agency, $75K base plus bonuses feels off. Is that competitive, especially with cost-of-living tweaks? I'd love to know what the salary benchmarks are for similar spots.

any promotions? i would expect at two years you should be up for your first promotion

$100-200k according to our peers on this platform. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/new-york-city-sales-and-marketing-account-executive-salary-SRCH_IL.0,13_IM615_KO14,51.htm

$75K two years in at a NYC agency is behind the market — full stop. Mid-level marketing roles at NYC agencies are ranging $85-105K right now, and that's before bonuses. Cost of living in NYC effectively makes $75K feel closer to $55K in most other markets. The two-year mark is exactly when agencies expect you to stay loyal and underpaid before you realize your worth. Pull competing offers — even exploratory ones — from holding company agencies or in-house brand roles. NYC in-house consistently out-pays agency by $15-25K at the same level. Have you looked outside agency life yet?
