What flat rate could I expect an entry level designer or art director to comp 4 campaigns?

Current TC is $285K. 75/25 split of base/commission. Great year and will make $500k this year but got lucky with low quota and likely won’t happen again. Recruiter reached out with base in $200-$225 range, 20% bonus and RSU which I don’t know how much. If you were going to leave current job, what would you be looking for total comp and what that breakdown is. Director role in tech, SF Bay Area, 11 YOR.

Anyone know any startups with solid comp? 300k OTE+ for enterprise sales or director roles?

What’s the average salary for an SVP Creative Director (Copy) in Chicago at a large Agency? (20 YOE)

Hi. New here but colleague said this is the best place to ask. What is a Director salary at West Monroe Partners?

How would you rank these opps?
1. COO at a small company ($100 M in revenue)
2. Director of Strategy or equivalent (at least 2 levels down, maybe more, from C-suite) at mid-size company ($1 B in revenue)
3. Manager-level position at FAANG
Assume same compensation for all 3.
Ultimate goal is to be CXO at F500.

Found out that the other AE on the team I work on is making a significant amount more than me. How do I approach my director about possibly increasing my salary to be equal? For context, I technically have been an AE longer as she recently got promoted from AAE. She’s also new to the team I work on and from what I’ve been told, will be doing the exact same work.

Art director, 3 years of experience at a couple big agencies, some small awards for one project. How much CAD would I be making if I move up there?

Would would be a good compensation for industry strategy director in a food and beverage company? Previous experience in MBB. Trying to benchmark my compensation ( moved to the US one Yr ago) and evaluate offers. Thanks!

Left UK 5 years ago as Mgr because got fed up of low comp (and really, it’s the comp:houseprice ratio). Felt like unless you were in IB or Magic Circle law then getting on the property ladder was v difficult. But now wife wants to move back home - and trying to find the right moment when pay cut will be the smallest... Are there pathways to earn £180-200k as a Director at the Big4, or is Partner the only ticket to doing so?

Does anybody know what’s the right comp to target for a new PE fund for a director (one level below MD). They’ve just raised $300M. Looking to get a sense for target base, bonus and carry

I have declined an offer at a really cool company with an awesome team because it would be a 20% paycut. I want the team to keep me in mind for the future as director+ positions open up. Would you send thank you emails to people who interviewed you on the super day, or let the recruiter (who was awesome and I think she’ll actually follow through) communicate this for your?

Said another way, would it be awkward to directly email these people when you’re declining due to comp?

I might be shifting into a new career path, working in-house for a tech brand. What is a realistic salary expectation for a Director of Communications? This particular company is on the younger side (was a start-up just five years ago), so I’m not sure what amount is reasonable to ask for. I have 10 years of experience and work in LA, FYI.

Thoughts on this offer.. Currently an M4 in CBO - Healthcare. Up for SM, in good standing but not sure I want to be a career consultant. Want to make sure I’m not selling myself short as I’m expecting a bump at SM due to being low in the band.

Currently:
163K Base
Minimal Bonus this year 🤬

Offer:
Fortune 500 Sr Director
200K Base
25% Bonus
20-40K in RSUs
All in around 290 if things go well

I’m currently interviewing for a promotion for an executive director role in NYC that I think I have a pretty good chance of getting (assuming the comp discussions go in my favor.) The office is located in Midtown East. My wife and I don’t have any children yet and I am unwilling to live in a 500 ft apt so I’m looking outside the city. I need some suggestions on where to live with keeping my commute under an hour.

Got an informal offer to join a client (manufacturing company). 240k base, 60k cash bonus target (can shrink or double depending on company metrics) + 50k annual equity (3 yr rolling vesting). Director level which has just one additional layer between me and the Exec Committee. My contact already internal negotiated extra vacation and is working on my behalf for a signing bonus. Is it worth trying to negotiate base? Or is this already a strong offer?

Thoughts on the below offer:

Series C software co, would be based same city I live now. Good valuation/ VC brands - ipo highly likely. Director level.

Base: 190
Bonus: 20%
Rsus: 15,000
No sign on

I’m just not sure how to truly value the Rsus. Looking at comps in the space and traction of the company, I think could easily / realistically reach 50$ share in next few years (or more-but obviously could be 0$)

Have a call with hiring director this afternoon after several rounds. Gut tells me it’s an offer! Excited but have a final round tomorrow with another company I’m more interested in and should be similar salary. How do I graciously sound excited about an offer today (which I am) but keep the option open without hurting any feelings?

Any🐠 know the compensation for a Managing Director in a major bank? Not front office but middle or back offices like compliance, risk, etc.

I recently accepted a job that I quite overqualified for because I’m in need of a job. I got hired as a Marketing Manager and work directly with the Marketing Director. Come to find out my director is still in school and has absolutely no marketing experience. She’s been with the company for 4 months. They seem to want to utilize my complete skills set and make up for her lack of marketing knowledge but maintain her position as director and pay me a entry level marketing manager salary. Advice?

Saw an interesting role but trying to figure out how this will affect my earnings and career trajectory if I leave consulting (currently 2nd year consultant)..

What's the salary band for an Associate Director at AbbVie? Is AD considered the same as Snr Manager at other firms? Should I be pushing for a Director level role?

Any advice?

Hi is there a solid resource for comp benchmarks? I’m in a new role and company is struggling to find benchmarks for my comp so it’s in my interest to help them. Like a resource to say eg “Director / VP of Product Strategy” comp ranges X-Y in companies of at least X revenue. Or honestly any resource that shows ranges of comp for roles of varying seniority across functions? Struggling on indeed or LinkedIn or elsewhere. My function can be tagged as product strategy or innovation fwiw. 🙏 thanks!
