do you know how hard it is to make 80-90k and or hit 91 -110k
I got laid off in Nov and in the market now. 110k pure salary jobs are mostly VP / directors. We are talking about solid 8-10 yrs of experience + managing a team.
I do this reality check with kids at my church. (Aside from specialized training /field eg// gov't worker, doctors, engineers, programs etc).
-$35k is min/starting wage give or take. $$17.5 bucks an hr
-$45-55k ($23.5 - $29 / hr) is with a solid 3-5 yrs of experience and you might get promoted within or heck, you get lucky getting into these flashy companies. Lulu, Aritizia, Global relay, any tech company (absolute, veeam, SAP) etc.
-$55k-80k ($30-40/ hr) level is extremely hard to crack. Exp is a must (duh) and you should be bringing SOMETHING to the company's bottom line (at least indirectly). Ain't no receptionist or assistant getting $80k. Lastly, you'll need a whole lot of luck because the pool has a shit load of talent with 5+ experience over you AND at least 10+ people with better resumes (previous work brand names).
-$80k - 110 base salary ($45-55 / hr)+ commission (OTE 150+). I'm focusing on sales job. Bringing in revenue directly is a must. Most likely a hunter and experience, your brand name, resume and track record is mandatory. These jobs are out there but i have to say, landing one is a bit tough because I can assure you competition is fierce.
If not in sales, you better be a diretor / project manager with at least 3-5 unique skill sets (certificates Cisco, PMP, etc to even get up to the 80k level).
I yell at my friends who complains and offer this reality check. Median income is 55k after taxes (in BC 2019). I always respect those who are earning the 80k range as they are already considered very fortunate people in BC.
