What salary for this marketing role in financial services?

[ihatepublictransport]

They want someone with 2 years of experience. I feel suspicious that what they are offering is on the low side. The recruitment agency I'm liaising with wants to send my profile over to them but as I say, I am suspicious.

What ballpark should it be in?

£30-35k?

£25-30k

Where is it and what type of company? Contract or full time?

What are they offering?

Am I missing something? What’s the role? Grade?
I used to work in marketing in financial services. My salary ranged from £27k (starting on the grad scheme) to 6 figures.
After 2 years I was on around £35k I think.

It's full time, and an in house position. There is no grade given in the job description. It just specifies 2 years of experience and the salary is £25k.

It's in London.

Where is it though?

I don't want to mention the name of the firm!

£30k minimum

Oh no dont name them! Is it an established go or a newbie? How much experience have you got? Is the role assistant, executive or manager?

Exec level. I have a couple of years of experience, so meet their criteria. They're established.

Oh - about £25-27 then. The job's not paying what it used to!

I would expect 25k for a role of that level.

That seems low for London, a friend of mine has an assistant/admin role in an HR department (currently re-training for something else) and she's on around £28k

Marketing role ratea are pretty low at the moment.

When did things change? I'm obviously wrong then but it feels too low for the sector.

Financial services is quite vague so difficult to guess. If it’s a bank they’re taking the piss with 25k, that’s about the going rate for the catering staff.

No really - marketing pay is crap these days! I'm on far less that I was before (and far fewer benefits) and have noticed a drop in salaries on offer - unless toy are very senior in a big firm (but even they haven't gone up all that much).

That's a little shocking, that marketing pay is now crappy. Tbh I would have thought £30k. It's London, it's an expensive place to live, and I know damn well they will expect quite long hours from whoever they hire.

I work in London in a similarly well paid industry to "finance".

Ballpark for 2 yrs experience would be about £60k.

2 years experience- London- I would say they’d be pushing it a £30k. They’d only go that high if they had solid proof the candidate was outstanding. Starting salaries are generally £18k so year 3 would be more along the lines of £30k. If you’re outstanding prove it. The recruitment agency should be able to prove it too. I’ve managed to get people big salaries after 2 years as I had solid proof. It’s in the agencies best interest to get you the most money!

Is it an insurer? Expect them to pay alot less than a bank, for example.

£25-28 I'd expect

Also, there are so many people after these jobs at the moment, salaries can be quite low. We recently recruited at this level and got more than 200 applications - most of them were decent applications too. I’m in Scotland.

Asset management. Not insurance.
