First, thanks to all of you who responded to our salary survey request. We were so excited to hear from so many of you. And we hope to hear from even more going forward so we can keep bringing you different bits of info that you can use.

Here are just a few of the things we’ve learned so far:

—People just out of school in Montreal are faring way better than those in similar positions here in New York. We heard from assistants to designers, buyers, and marketers making anywhere from $36,000-$56,000. A similar position in NYC seems to be going for $30,000 or under.

From time to time we sit around with the editors from our sibling sites Above the Law, Dealbreaker, and Going Concern to share ideas about what our readers are into and how different types of stories might translate across our various industries.

One thing, it seems, that their readers can’t get enough of is information about salaries—which really makes sense. It’s helpful knowledge to have when you’re looking for a job or trying to negotiate a raise. Plus it’s just plain interesting. And in our industry, we know these numbers vary so very much. Having the same number of years of experience in a similar position does not always guarantee a certain salary level.
