What are those in their mid-20s earning in this industry?
I’m currently in a back office position with a salary of $60k, and I’m feeling pretty disheartened about it. The job market is tough right now, so I’m curious to hear what others in similar situations are making.
If you decide to share, I’d love to know more about your job function, educational background, and location.
P.S. I found this discussion a bit disheartening.
One response
I understand how you’re feeling—it’s tough out there, especially when job satisfaction doesn’t match your ambitions. In terms of the industry, salaries in their mid-20s can vary widely based on job function, education, and location.
For instance, those in tech roles like software engineering can make anywhere from $70k to over $100k, especially in tech hubs like San Francisco or New York. On the other hand, entry-level roles in fields like marketing or HR might start around $50k-$65k depending on the region.
Here’s my background as an example:
– Job Function: Data Analyst
– Education: Bachelor’s in Statistics
– Living Area: Chicago
– Salary: $75k
Remember, your current role doesn’t define your potential. If you’re feeling stuck, consider looking into professional development opportunities, networking, or even exploring new job openings in fields that excite you. Hang in there—better days are ahead!
