AIBU to ask you what you think I should earn?

[questioningitall]

NC as potentially identifying. I'm the MD of small PR agency. Owned by a big company. I've worked my way up over 15 years so aware I won't earn as much as someone who's switched employer.

However, I am putting my budget together for next year and just think I am potentially being taken advantage of.

We turn over around £1.7 million in fees and generate profits of around £600k. I've grown the business by 25% this year (and 29% the year before).

What would you think I would earn?

Well if you don't ask you don't get! I wouldn't ballpark yourself based on what a load of people on the internet have told you though!! There must be industry comparators you could look at and refer to

Ha ha I seriously doubt OP got to where she is today by saying "My friends on Mumsnet said......" when asking for a pay rise.

Which sector?
Corporate/Financial/Tech - £120k+
Consumer/health - £100k
Fashion/food/beauty/sport - £90-100k

Well she did ask on here!!

Negotiate. If you don't ask you won't get.

Yes!!!! I guessed right OK, bonuses are a novel concept though (to a scientist)....
