compensation at boutiques

There is no typical comp for boutiques. It could be street, above it, or below it.

Have you bothered asking what you're getting paid? I don't think it'd hurt now that you have the job...

Brisbane, do you really think whosjohngalt doesn't know how much he's getting paid? He's asking for 'typical' compensation to compare his salary with others like him. You, sir, are an idiot.

So? I still answered his question. Why're you trying to be dick where there's no reason?

I work at a boutique - and though my work is fairly untraditional - the VAST, VAST, VAST majority of my compensation is performance linked.

Don't worry about what others make - You're not going to jump ship anytime soon without hurting yourself. You're not them and knowing what they make will either discourage you from focussing on blowing people out of the water from the start. . . or it could light a fire under your ass. DO THE JOB AND THE MONEY WILL COME.

I work at a boutique. My base is slightly above market, and I expect my bonus to be slightly below market.
