Development Associate - Am I Underpaid?

Having a difficult time finding data points for smaller shop development comp, no shortage of AM and acq data/top dev shop comp. I've spent 4 yrs at a smaller regional developer in the Northeast doing a bit of everything. Lean team but developing and managing around 5M sf of real estate. Base is $70k with no defined bonus range, although last year it was 30%. 1 yr of prior RE experience.

 

I mean, at 5 yrs total exp, 4 in development, I’d think anyone would be over $100k in base alone or close to it, with total comp above $150k (or at the potential for such in a “good” year). You say “northeast”, do you mean something not NYC/Boston? Those two cities you are majorly underpaid, can’t speak for Philly, CT, RI, or anything else, but still seems underpaid personally.
