What is the typical salary for someone in New Jersey with my background?
I have a decade of experience and earned my bachelor’s degree in 2015. After some time in engineering, I transitioned into brand marketing—I’ve humorously labeled my earlier roles as “Analytical Engineer Level 4” on LinkedIn. Now, as I focus on advancing my career as an analyst, I’ve updated my profile to reflect my later SEO/SEM and brand marketing positions as “Senior Analyst” roles.
Currently, I’m a Senior Analyst in Data & Audience Strategy at Reckitt in New Jersey. I also completed my master’s degree at Montclair State University, and I’m grateful to my sister who, not working herself, graciously offered me a place to stay while living in the area thanks to her husband.
My current salary is around $130k, including all components. Is this typical for my experience and role? I’m a legal immigrant in the U.S., and I’d appreciate any insights into salary expectations in my field.
