stanzi asked:
I am looking to work in Consumer Packaged Goods or Consumer Products with a large company (Fortune 500-1000). I have 3 years of experience within Marketing, 2 years of it within Consumer Products and have an Ivy League degree but no MBA. I was a Marketing Coordinator for one year and soon become a Marketing Supervisor and Product Manager - all within small to mid-sized companies. I am guessing that my experience thus far translates to an Associate Product or Brand Manager in a Fortune 500-1000 and am ballparking the base salary at $55-60K. Would like to get confirmation and any advice about what I can expect. I have heard a Brand Management career typically offers good work/life balance - though of course each individual company’s culture will be the biggest impact from that perspective. Would really appreciate any specific input and pointers on various companies’ culture and structure. Thanks!

I have been a brand manager of consumer products and think that in NY the base salary of 55-60K is a good start with your experience. I find that the balance of a brand manager is good as you have a staff of people working on a project and long hours are not needed.
