I am having this issue as well. The L&D market is flooded with transitioning teachers - and to them - $80k is a huge raise from what they were making as a teacher. Companies are capitalizing on this. But for the rest of us who have been in L&D for a decade+ (earning six figures) - it is rough having to accept a big pay cut. Makes me want to transition as well - out of L&D!
Your salary expectations are not out of whack. The Midwest is simply horrific when it comes to reasonable wages for the skill sets they want. I am also in the Midwest performing all facets of Instructional Design, 8 years experience, and only bring in $55k.
