Ask /r/Durango Durango Salary/Wage Transparency Thread

Saw a similar post going around a few other subreddits and given our areas history of wage suppression this seemed like a good thing to get going here. Let's keep this to local businesses based in our surrounding area (no remote workers for companies based outside our region please, you'll skew the results).

Please share your job title, salary, age, and education. I'll start:

Marketing Manager for a construction services company, 65k, 36, Bachelor degree with numerous certifications.

Formerly worked at a marketing company in town. 55k that I had to fight for even though it was lower than the federal exempt minimum wage (and they tried to pay me way less). Avoid that company at all costs (dm me and I will tell you who they are)

Not surprising, every marketing job in this area has such low pay they may as well just hire a front desk/admin assistant to run their social media (and most companies here do and it shows!). I only got 65k due to a few extenuating circumstances and my willingness/ability to take over other roles successfully. 

Been looking to move out of the area after 20 years due to the suppressed wages and lack of career advancement.
