Let’s start a conversation about salary in this industry. It seems like the majority of us (Creative, Strategy, Brand, everyone) feels grossly underpaid. Are we not charging clients enough? Is too much money going into “cultural incentives” than salaries? Do YOU personally feel overworked/undervalued? Leave your thoughts below.

Is it uncommon to negotiate titles? Been interviewing for this job and really want it, but it’s an "associate" level position which also seems weird considering they’re asking for 3 years experience. I’ve currently been an associate for 2 years now and think it’s time to move on from the title. Salary is right, just the title is holding me back. Thoughts?

I had first and second round interviews for a specific role at a company—and even discussed salary range with the recruiter during first round—then I get an email from the recruiter saying the SVP and ACD I interviewed with loved me and thought I’d be a great fit, and that she’d be in touch when a position opens up that matches my skills and level. Has anyone ever had something like this happen? I’m so confused, because the role was for my skills and level.

We hired a freelance artist on a contract with a day rate x 10 days and a specific timeline. Feedback is taking too long and there’s going to be many days of nothing for him to do, and the timeline needs to extend.

Every other advertising role interview - you have 5 years? Cool you are hired.

Creative interview - doesn’t seem like you worked at any relevant award winning agencies. How many awards do you have? Is this everything in your portfolio? Can you tell me about projects you are doing outside of work? Will you take a demotion or salary cut to have a chance at award winning work here? We are passionate here, so do you like to work late nights and weekends? Last candidate had a viral application.
