Salaries in marketing
I’ve been working in marketing now for 2 years in B2B tech. I came in as a graduate as the only marketing resource but I was doing what I could with the resources I had and essentially no budget. A CCO came on board at the end of last year who really helped enable marketing activities and set proper budgets etc. and we’ve really ramping up marketing activity by A LOT. I pride myself in working hard and now doing marketing activity over 6 different channels (fully owning strategies and delivering them - ads over 2 platforms, event planning, brand proposition development, account based marketing, website updates and lots more). I’m really learning lots and feel my skills are developing. This is a really great opportunity for me.
But Dublin is an expensive hole and I could be making more money. My salary was initially 32k when I started. I asked for a review after a year and got it up to 37k which increased to 38k at the start of this year.. After doing a bit of research I think 42k wouldn’t be an unreasonable ask… However I don’t really have anyone to bounce this off of..
I almost don’t want want to bring it up ‘too soon’ considering the small bonus (company wide) at the start of the year out of fear of being ‘greedy’ but I need more money and I believe if you don’t ask you don’t get.
Any thoughts/ advice from anyone working in the field?
