I am not an expert in this by any means! I do agree with the first respondant, that you need to provide more information.\nFor example, \nWhere are you located (cost of living will impact your salary)?\nDo you manage other employees?\nWhat does an assistant manager do?\nDo you take care of planning for programs and activities?\nHow many kids are in the daycare?\n\nYou can find details on US AFC website National Child Care Information Center http://www.nccic.org/poptopics/salaries.html\n\nSalary.com can also provide information. You have to  pay to get a fully customized answer. However, I would cross the Day Care Center Teacher with the Retail Assistant Manager and estimate a salary that way. With 15 years of experience, I would expect you to be in the mid -to-  upper\nrange of the salary.\nA retail asst. manager makes $34,691 on average\nA child care center teacher makes $27,495 on average\n(remember these are numbers from across the US, if you go to the site you can specify states w/o extra cost.

45K is a good starting salary for many occupations.  The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise".  Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country.  I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills.  On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year.  Most colleges track this information.  It helps employers and employees!

Depends where you live and the average pay for the area. Do you mean in a band, or solo? If you're good, you could easily make $100.00 per hour. It's your call when it comes to how much weekly, as you would choose how much you would play during the week.

0 - 70k USD.\n\n0, obviously, if you're unemployed.\nFreelance can be around 700 a month.\n30k is about normal in companies.\nMy boyfriend's making 60-ish K as a graphic artist for the US Army.\nIt really varies.

It's a perfectly good question. You'd like to know the range. This gives you more bargaining power, but don't be surprised if they answer a question with a question, "What are your salary requirements?" Be prepared. And good luck!

10% to 15% is usual. Depends on if they did more than required or treated you very good. $90 is a lot of dough, you should consider if it is really worth it.

that really depends on your idea of comfortably.  What does comfortable mean to you?  How big of an apartment do you want, how close will you live to your workplace (ie. how much $ will go to public transportation, taxis), how often do you like to buy new clothes, how often do you like to go out socially? \n\nBased on my standard of living comfortably, I would say, for a single person with no dependants, you should be making at least $30,000/year.  Good Luck

Hi,\n\n  First, try to get a sense of what is fair for an experienced  professional.  You may even do a quick google search and find some and ask for an estimate.\n\n  As a rule of thumb, I would think $10-$15 bucks/hr seems at the absolute high end.  When you are first starting out, the experience you get is extremely valuable, and if they wanted to pay $40+ bucks per hour, they would have hired some one with an established business.  \n\n    I would also recommend that you set up the amount immediately!  You are just setting yourself (and your brother) up for problems if you do not get things set straight and ensure every one has the same expectations.  Finally, you definitely want to have a "reference account" so if you give your first customer a good deal, they are more likely to ask for repeat business, recommend you to another company, or provide a reference.  All of these are far more valuable than squeezing a few extra bucks from your first professional gig.\n\nGood Luck,

If its on paper, put what you think is right for the job. How would you know that? ask around you can get opinions from the said stores just by asking the staff how much ( without sounding a bit tacky as to how much a typical employee would get on an hourly basis) in a casual manner. Do some research and visit these stores, you will get a sense of what they make and what the working conditions are like. You could also go to salary.com and find out what the national/ regional  average is. If you are asked during an interview let them know how much you want but emphasize the fact  that you are willing to negotiate.

It really depends on how long you have been in the career, and what background you have.\nThey can make from $12 on up to an average of $16.  Some of the long term employees make more than $25 - 30 an hour.

I believe 66 2/3% of your weekly pay up to around $400 bucks. Not sure of the exact amount.

It depends on your location, cost of living, taxes,etc.....but that averages out to be $9.00 an hour so in my opinion i think this is a good wage....and with the job outlook depending on where you are....i'd take it because jobs will continue to decline in the future....I would take the job and be content with your pay until something better comes along!\n\nMinimum wage here is $5.15 so I think the answer to your question would be "OK"

Earning potential is what should be considered here. You can write your own check.  Here is the equation: My commision $100, times closing average, 1 out of 3.  To make $1000 a day, I need to be in "front" of 30 people asking for the order.  So commission times average = paycheck.  And it's just that simple.  Numbers do not lie. They are a constant, make them work for you.  If you are not in front of a customer your store is closed.  Savvy?  Good Luck and stay ethical, the highest "closing" tool you have.\n\nBears may want to imagine a "Grace Van Owen" suit on the other bear. Check. Your move. tee hee.
