I tried looking around here but it seems like this field is very rare.
I have 6 years of experience in social media marketing and I used to work for a famous digital media agency in hollywood and I have worked closely with high profile hollywood celebrities.
I'm in a dilemma because I have no idea how much should I list as my salary expectations. I thought of somewhere around $4.5k-$5k but for a starting pay, isn't it too high for a diploma holder? But if I mention $2.5-$3k, it seems too low, for my experience and skills? Does anyone have any idea how much does a social media executive earn say starting pay? And does qualifications over here play a huge part in the salary because it's not actually relevant if you look deeper because it's more of your skills rather than your cert. I would also like to know if there is any prospect in this field and how fast is a social media executive promoted and what's the difference between a social media executive and a social media manager? Because both titles seem like the same to me but I heard a social media manager earn much more and could earn up to five figures. Thinking of choosing this as my career so I would appreciate any valuable feedbacks!
Social media executive - starting pay?
Social media manager - starting pay?

if you got exp. then why don't you take your last drawn pay and mark up a 20%
that is what normal company HR does.
