Think my buddy was offered $65k in SF which I think was about $10-$15 higher than most others we’re getting offered in 2015.

I got 70 when I started but had friends making 75 (out of ad school)

As a jr I got 45 but with overtime, ended up with around 75

Not the highest but definitely a huge jump in salary; 42k straight out of college (never did ad school) and after getting laid off 10 months later, picked up a job a month after at 55k, still junior-level role

Depends on the industry - healthcare probably pays better.

I started out at 57k (pretty average. In LA after a summer internship/3 months post college graduation (no ad school). After a year and half got a pay raise to 77k with still a junior title

I made 71K in SF my first year out of ad school (60K + overtime). Got a raise to 72K after one year (no OT) but didn’t feel like much of one

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!

I was offered a Solutions Architect role with a packaging company. When discussing details with the recruiter, she specified that the salary was $60k…I was shocked to hear that number.

I gave her my target salary as $100-120k (I have 3 years experience in IT, 1 in IT Procurement, now a PM). She said the highest they would likely be able to go is $85k, but she would have to speak with the hiring managers.

I still think $85 is too low for the role. What do you think is a fair salary?

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
