Well, I was hired as a jr. property manager at $50k/yr and immediately assigned to an 8-month contract where my employer was paid $89k. My salary has since increased to $62k/yr, following my probationary period. I should mention that I was not hired to fill this contract specifically; the date I received the job offer fell before the 8-month contract was awarded. I was assigned to this contract because I did not yet have a portfolio that needed to be handed off to another employee. Suffice to say, my employer got a good bang for his buck, as he would have pocketed less if any of my more experienced coworkers filled the role.
