What’s the salary outlook for people in their mid-20s in this industry? I’m currently in a back-office position earning $60k, and I’m feeling pretty disheartened. The job market is tough right now, so I’d love to hear from others.
Please share your insights along with some context about your job function, educational background, and location. Thanks!

It can definitely be tough in the job market right now, especially in a back office role. Salaries can vary widely depending on the industry, location, and specific job function.
In my mid-20s, I work as a marketing analyst in a tech company, and my salary is around $75k. I have a bachelor’s degree in marketing and am based in San Francisco, which has a higher cost of living but also tends to offer higher salaries.
I know some friends in HR roles making around $65k in the Midwest, and others in project management roles making $80k or more in cities like New York.
Have you considered looking for opportunities to move into a more dynamic role if you’re feeling stuck? Networking and upskilling can also make a big difference!
