TamasYou can live like a fucking king on $46k here.

i mean you can live on 46k anywhere if you're willing to sacrifice, so many people live beyond their means.

TamasYeah as someone who lives in Burlington and makes a lot less than that a year, You can live like a fucking king on $46k here.


You could literally buy all your homies a pitcher at Esox for this salary and still have enough to pay cover at Red Square

Let's also not forget that $46k is the minimum salary for this job, if you have almost no professional experience. It's up to $55k for someone who meets all requirements and doesn't require training.

Add in an annual bonus, 401k match, health care, season pass and multiple pairs of skis per year you're looking at right around $70k in total compensation... can guarantee no entry level marketing positions at K2 Sports are offering this, and you'd have to live in Seattle for 49% more the national average to put it in terms @Young_patty can understand

Plus you'd get all the fun of using the company Newschoolers account, it's such a pleasant and inviting platform filled with supportive individuals!

Salary is a bit low but it's quite a bit more than I was making with Saga (when we got paid that is).

Industry jobs don't grow on trees so if you really want to get in, sometimes you have to take a hit for a bit to work your way in.

Right on. Cost of living is getting pretty crazy in Canada so I was curious. Been to Vermont once, cool place but it poured rain and then went to -30. Only skied 1 run in a week long trip. Water park at J Peak is great though lol.

Running an independently owned business in a niche market ain't easy. Like I said, sometimes you gotta take a hit to do something you want to be involved in.

I have a proposal: get rid of the open position and fire all remaining marketing staff. Seriously. You guys market way too fucking much and every graphic looks like you bought a $5 bulk box of stickers from amazon and told an 8 year old to go crazy. Simplify your product line and go back to the basics. Do less.

Just saying throwing more money at the problem is not gonna make things better. Being spammed by pictures of cats wearing sombreros and other zany garbage does not want me to buy J skis. Vishnu Jet and ON3P edits make me interested in their skis. Nikolai Schirmer and Cody Townsends touring videos make me interested in their gear.



FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FUCKING STOP IT WITH THE CATS WEARING SOMBREROS AND ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED.
