What do customer service and customer success staff earn?
It depends on where the job is. Three things move pay from state to state.
Cost of living
Pay tends to sit above the national average in high-cost states and metros, and below it where living costs are lower.
Local demand
Where more employers are hiring for a role than there are candidates, offers rise.
On-site, hybrid or remote
On-site roles are priced by the local market. Remote roles draw on a wider pool, which changes what candidates expect.
