You’re going to get a range of answers here and I suggest not comparing them to yours/your career progress.

$96k brand side. l left shortly after for an agency job and took a 10% pay cut roughly. 100% worth it for me at the time.

Thank you!! This is not to compare myself to other but purely out of curiosity.

Then ask…

How much experience did you have at 27?
What was the size of the company you worked for?
What were you responsible for?
Who got you the job?
Was it your own company or a family business?
What city was the job in?
How much education and training did you have?
What school did you attend?

More to it than age and salary.

Hello! Looking for some help regarding compensation in product management. I joined my tech/e-commerce software company in very early stages… I’ve always been interested in product management and after 5 years I now have an opportunity to start in a PM role. I’ve been a sales engineer and functional consultant and I’m wondering what sort of compensation I should be asking for. I have no product management experience but I’m very familiar with the product and market already. Any help welcomed!

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Should I still try to negotiate salary after accepting a offer? It is from Accenture for a security analyst position. Since I’m basically a new grad I assumed negotiating salary wouldn’t be worth it. Until I talked to someone on the security team there and he told me I should at least be a senior analyst since I am coming in with a Masters. Should I try to negotiate to a senior role and the salary or leave it? It’s my only cybersecurity offer. Also looking for FAANG,big4or MBB referrals :)
