How much should a junior copywriter expect to make in NYC? What’s an appropriate salary range?

Salary recommendation: I have an interview next week for a mixed senior copywriter and senior PR consultant job at a very large, in-house organization. If you had 7-9 years of experience and were based in central US, what would you ask for? I’m thinking $125,000 based on where I am now, but I want to make sure I’m not undercutting myself.

Wondering: what’s a good salary range for a copywriter with 10 years experience? Not at a senior role, but a manager. Curious; Lmk salary range and location (if applicable, since I know that can sometimes play a role). TIA!

Is $120k a fair salary for a sr. copywriter at an in-house (non-tech) company. It’s a well known media company and NYC-based.

Was asked to write a few social posts as a side gig. What’s a typical hourly rate for a senior copywriter, writing around 10 social posts (memes, posts, etc.) Someone mentioned $100/hr but that feels like a lot for memes.

CW salary at FB/Meta within the Creative X group? I keep seeing posts for copywriter positions that require 6 years of experience so I’m assuming even though they call it copywriter it’s more in line with senior / ACD agency salary.

A big tech/creative conundrum!

Copywriter w/ a decade of big name agency work, few awards but no lions or pencils. Making decent salary and decent work. Fairly happy but worried about balancing kids/money/work next year.

Have a great offer for a copy role at Facebook (salary, benefits and stock are amazing and way above what I could ever earn at an agency).

Would this effectively be my forever exit from the agency world? Ive heard once you leave you can’t come back. Any experience with this?

Senior Copywriter w/ 4-5 years exp. in NYC agency. What’s your salary?

I'm a Sr & my cw is mid level, I have 2 more yrs of experience. We've been partners for 2 yrs and we're interviewing at an agency that doesn't have Jr,mid,Sr & are really precious about acd title, likening them to CDs.

At other places we've talked to we'd get respective promotions and raises but this agency wants to bring us in as a senior team. We don't have the same salary now and I'd feel a bit stiffed if they offer us the same salary.

Am I an asshole for feeling this way? Wwyd?
