We need to stop associating a high salary with working longer hours; and instead associate salary with demand of a skill set

Maybe it takes long hours to develop skill sets that demand a high salary.

We do long hours not because of salary but the expectation clients have due to high dollar per hour they pay. I don’t think all projects are crazy. Stay off a Strat project or large project if you want WBL. Do small engagements with limited people where you have client access and can control the outcome of your work. Not everyone is working long hours in Consulting... pick your projects if you can wisely.

If salary is tied to skill set delivered, most of us would probably be in line for a pay cut, we build slides and excel models.

Recently, the CEO and my boss, the VP gave me the latitude to promote myself and "write my own" job description. I've been the Marketing Manager of this company for about 7 months. Already received 1 raise.

Much of the work in my "new" job description, I've already been doing. My currently salary is $70K. New title is Director of Communications and Systems Integration. What is a reasonable salary increase here.

I have about 7 years experience in this area.
