Got offered a position at another agency, title promotion and close to 30% salary increase. I do love my current agency but it feels stupid not to take this right? I guess I’m just nervous about going somewhere new.

Is it typical for a publication to ask for compensation when you send them a press release?

They are also asking for 3+ years of experience with that salary. In Los Angeles. Good luck with that. Hope it’s a mistake.

When a recruiter asks you for salary expectations and you deflect by asking about the allotment range for the role.. they still give you a lowball answer - right?

Happened to me recently and I gave a higher number than they have budgeted, but I feel I’m worth that much.

Anyone with experience building a strategy process/department from zero? Got offered a senior strat role at an agency with no strategy or briefing process in place. Would the uphill battle be worth the jump and salary bump? I’m 1000% excited for the challenge, but a creative who used to work there had so many negative things to say from his experience...likely because there was no strategy in place.

Me: I've been working 14 hr days non-stop.
Employer: We've all been working hard. It's a tough time for the industry.
Me: It's not sustainable and I'm burning out. I need help.
Employer: Totally get it. We are understaffed so we need you to be flexible about taking on more responsibilities.
Me: If I'm taking on more responsibilities, would my compensation be able to reflect that increase?
Employer: It's tight this year. Economy/pandemic etc.
Me: I'm leaving.
Employer: *surprised pikachu face*

How do you approach your freelance rate when it’s a longer term (month or more) project? I usually do a day rate, but seeing it multiplied for that long feels like a recipe for sticker shock. I don’t want to undersell with a needlessly lower flat rate, or look like a crazy person with a $xxK figure (unless it’s not so crazy in freelance? New to this!) Thanks!

What if we normalized monetary compensation for marginalized groups who are constantly being asked to provide free consulting, creative, production services on top of their day-to-day jobs every time there’s a DE+I initiative? Typically, underrepresented groups are already underpaid. So, when they are asked to do work that will push them even further outside the 40-hour work week, it decreases their rate even more—marginalizing them further in a quest for equality.

I had an amazing review yesterday. Everything said was positive. And yet I didn’t get a promotion or even a bonus. Was told to keep trucking and should get one at some point this year. I do way more than what a jr would do at any agency and I really would like a raise and promotion. I don’t want to be taken advantage of but afraid that I won’t be hired as an AD without having that promotion first.

Started my career after graduating in May & just landed a mid-level pm role, $10k salary increase.

Don’t want to burn any bridges where I currently am, and I’m conflicted because a few other colleagues have left since May. Though, I don’t want that to be the only reason I stay.

Also, I think this next opportunity could help me leverage moving abroad in the future (goal of mine).
