How does my salary compare in New Jersey?
I have a decade of experience and earned my bachelor’s degree in 2015. After some engineering roles, I transitioned into brand marketing, which I’ve humorously listed as “Analytical Engineer Level 4” on LinkedIn. Now, as I’m looking to stay in the analyst space, I’ve updated my SEO/SEM and brand marketing positions to “Sr. Analyst” roles on my profile. Currently, I’m employed at Reckitt in New Jersey as a Sr. Analyst in Data & Audience Strategy, and I completed my Master’s at Montclair State University (shoutout to my sister, who lives there thanks to her husband and kindly let me stay with them).
My current salary is approximately $130k, including all benefits. Is this within the typical range for my role in New Jersey? I’m also a legal immigrant in the U.S.
