what's should my salary be?
I believe I am grossly underpaid at my current job. background: *e-commerce space since 2005 *IT professional *undergraduate in cybercrime/cyber security *full stack developer (LAMP and MEAN) *5 years Amazon vc and sc *5 years AdWords, analytics etc *7 years Android root/scripting my coworker who only has AdWords/analytics knowledge makes more than me... yet I know what they do plus more just within AdWords/analytics... I should note that I've had 3 companies offer me substantially more in salary. one company offered me $15k more, another offered me $40k more and the third offered me $60k more...
Find some place that will pay more? Tell your boss your leaving unless your get a pay boost? if your worth it to them then they'll pay it
my boss is technically my father and for whatever reason he will give others higher salaries but then tell me there isn't budget for my salary...honestly he's just taking advantage because I'm family. if I left they'd be screwed. because I'm the only one who knows everything about one channel of business which accounts for 40% of yearly revenue.
ππππ this is a joke right? If its family business evert dollar he saves by not paying you, you get 1.3$ because of taxes.
When you go into your review I would ask for a raise and say you've been approached by companies but like where you are at. Or apply to other places...
what would you suggest for be to do since I'll be starting a full time mba in August. my current company is flexible with hours at my current pay rate. a tech company did contact me and offer me a job while I'm in school butt I didn't ask what they were offering.
Don't worry about the pay then. Honestly you want little work during your MBA. We had a dude skate by for 2 years then landed a bad ass job
You had a company offer you $60k more. So you have the opportunity to get out of your underpaid situation. Why not just take it?
because that was for a full time position and I'll be heading to grad school full time. I got the offer just after I got accepted into grad school.
What are you going to grad school for? Not a sarcastic question, just curious
MBA
What is your goal from this? Based on experience MBA doesn't add much, in people with already several years experience
Always look for another job. If you get a more lucrative offer elsewhere decide whether you want to take it or not. If not take that offer to your current manager and talk to them about it. Leaving is the biggest salary boost. Exploring options is always a good career move.
Finding a job that has you doing all of these things is difficult unless your going to be some form of management. Odds are you going to get paired to your one or two excellent skills and your pay will be based on those alone. For example, a marketing company will most likely only pay you do do the development side or the marketing side. If you do both, they will pay a middle ground salary for the two because they can't pay you 60k IT salary to do 35k marketing salary work because it's a waste of money.
I currently do all the IT for the office, front end web development for the website, build and maintain a sql database and run SQL queries to get in depth data for analysis through tableau, email marketing and all Amazon stuff from listings to fulfillment to advertising. I work with finance to come up with inventory projections and I do all the finances for Amazon sales to ensure taxes and all payment fields check out and balance etc. I'm also the backup to the adwords/analytics person and I do all the sales reports for every channel of paid search/advertising for both AdWords/analytics as well as amazon and our direct to consumer website.
What you do and the value you provide are going to be two different things. What are some of the most key successes the business has had while you've been working here? Do you have any statistics on the leads your designs and landing pages have converted? Do you have an idea of what the value of your services are? Just going off of standard rates, I hire marketing consultants that do most of the designs and lead forms at 35k and progress them up to 45k plus a percent of sales. Then, for the IT staff I have them in at 50k to manage our on site servers, IT work and in house software development. Some of them progress up to 80k depending on there development skills and value they bring through innovation. Can you validate your value to the company?
