I’m wondering from those who have moved from account to strategy how you’ve liked it and what were your motivations, pros and cons of the jump and what you think about the trajectory of your career and salary now.

The head of strategy at my agency recently said I could be on her team and I’m extremely intrigued but surprised as I just always thought I’d be on the account side since I do so well there.

Interviewed on the brand side with a very well known beauty company. They wanted to take my 5 years of experience and only pay $65k (NYC).

Seeking insights and experiences on the offer/counter offer situation. If you have a great offer you'd leave for, but would also be willing to stay if your agency countered with what you want, did you have to show your offer letter? Did your agency suddenly and magically "find money" for you? Have you withheld details of the offer (where, salary, other details) when approaching to counter, or do you need to in order to get $$ approvals? Thanking you for any experience and insights in advance!
