Hi Katelyn,
Many states now have laws that require them to share salary details in job ads or if someone asks. States like California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington often include salary ranges in their job listings. To find out what entry-level marketing jobs pay, you can look up positions like marketing assistant, specialist, or coordinator in companies located in these states. The exact salary within the given range depends on factors like your experience, skills, and where the job is located.

Hi, Katelyn,
I remember also thinking about my potential salary once 'I had a career'. The former responders gave you resources to see salary ranges, so I will give you different advice.
Income is important-- yes. Enjoyment from your job is more important. Work is rarely entirely all wonderful; there are tasks all of us need to do to make a business successful, but perhaps don't fully enjoy. However, what you want to find is the balance of salary along with *most* of what you enjoy when you are working. This takes time to figure out as you move through your career.
You might think "I don't yet know exactly what I like". That's ok! As you begin your career you will quickly see tasks that are challenging, but you genuinely enjoy. Seek out those experiences when deciding on future roles/careers.
Example 1: I really enjoy building and operating new processes and seeing outcomes improve. It is challenging, but rewarding and mentally stimulating for me. This 'enjoyment' I can find at any role/firm, so it is one I can always have with me.
Good Luck!

Hey Katelyn,
Google says the median salary for a marketing major is about $54K fresh out of college. This number will greatly be swayed based on the industry and size of company. At many companies (especially large ones) marketing isn't particularly entry level so the salaries for marketers tend to be much higher there. A lot of marketing professionals also get their start in sales which is a different role, but there can be a lot of overlap in what some sales roles do and marketing.

Thank you for giving me advice.

Where you live and the industry you work in can really affect your salary. Usually, entry-level marketing jobs for someone with a business degree pay between $50,000 and $60,000 a year. Big companies or tech jobs might pay more, while smaller businesses or nonprofits might pay less. Your internships, skills, and where you live also matter. I would encourage you to holistically evaluate opportunities - base compensation, bonus potential, benefits, company culture, and work structure.

Hi Katelyn
I think an entry level role in marketing salary really depends on the field of marketing that you are going into - for e.g. a digital marketing level /content management role will pay higher than a general marketing role, say like an events marketing coordinator may pay lesser. Also, bigger companies have a higher salary band than a startup would have. However, on the other hand at a marketing startup, you may get the experience of being a "Jack of all trades" and learn all the nuances of different marketing activities while a larger company the role may be very definite. As you are starting out, I would recommend look for roles where you can learn the most. Salary is important, but skills will often get you to the salary levels you desire, just may not be at the initial levels. Hope this makes sense.

Hi Katelyn,
I have a friend who got a bachelor's degree in Marketing. Usually, people with this degree start with salaries between $40,000 and $60,000 a year. The exact pay depends on the job, experience, and where you work. For instance, jobs like Marketing Assistant or Coordinator might pay on the lower side, while roles like Digital Marketer or SEO Specialist might offer more.

Hi Katelyn,
I graduated two years ago with a degree in Marketing. During college, I had several internships at big tech companies and took on leadership roles in clubs. My first job after college was a Marketing Rotational role in Chicago at a large company, where I earned about $60k. Other companies I interviewed with offered between $55k and $75k.
Remember, money isn't everything. Building good relationships with interviewers, having a genuine passion for your work, and being interested in the industry can make a big difference. This is just the start of your career journey! Good luck!

Hi Katelyn, it is of course meant to be a stepping stone, and will help you later in your career, and is geo-dependent. But it was $40-50,000. Look for roles related to Communications Coordinator, Marketing Coordinator, etc.
