Hi Kynnadi,
I wish there was a straightforward answer, but unfortunately, there isn't one. The starting pay can be affected by many aspects such as the national economy, the specific role and responsibilities, your educational background, relevant experience, the industry you're entering, and even the geographical location of the job.
Factors like the cost of living in different regions, demand for the role itself, and the size of a possible company also play significant role in evaluating the starting pay. You can always research for specific job postings and salary surveys in your preferred field and location, to get more details and accurate information. There are many websites that could give you a first impression. Anothet idea would be to seek out mentorship. Mentors in your desired field can provide insights into typical salary ranges and help you understand better all the factors that can influence pay.
Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Nikolas

Hello Kyannadi, determining the starting salary can indeed be a complex task. It fluctuates depending on the industry you're in and the level of expertise you possess. Additionally, factors like cost of living adjustments (COLA's) also come into play. If you're just starting out in an entry-level role, it's normal for the pay to be on the modest side. But remember, this is just the beginning of your career journey. As you gain more experience and skills, you'll see your salary grow. So, keep pushing forward. Best of luck on your career journey!

Hello Kynnadi! You've asked a great question. Even though the initial salary might be on the lower end and may vary based on your location, remember that there's more to a job than just the paycheck. At this early point in your career, it's crucial to look at the big picture. Consider the entire compensation package, including medical insurance, 401K contributions, paid time off, and a balance between work and personal life. These perks can add significant value to your overall earnings. So, keep these in mind when you're discussing your salary.
Hope this guidance serves you well.
Wishing you all the best on your journey!
Always review benefits not just pay.

Hi Kynnadi, thanks for your question!
I think transparency around pay and compensation is something that is really important and all candidates should be paying attention to. What can be helpful to get an understanding of what different employers are paying for Marketing roles you can look on their career websites and look at jobs that are available in New York State or in Colorado (you can filter job searches by location). Both New York State and Colorado have passed laws that require employers to include the pay range of that role on their public job postings. What this can do is provide you with a ballpark range of what companies are paying for these roles in a major markets like New York City or New York State. I encourage you to be mindful that salary and compensation vary based on location, so New Mexico will most likely have a different range than New York or Colorado or California for example. Salary is also dependent on factors like your years of experience, educational background, certifications, and other areas.
I would also recommend you to look into websites like glassdoor.com, they also can provide more transparency about what people are being paid at different levels, ranging from entry-level roles up to more senior and executive roles.
I hope you find this helpful!
