For tech it’s low. I was making 150k (not incl stocks) as an AD in SF. Not sure about agency side though

Thanks for the input. I am looking agency side though.

$100k is about right for an SF mid, agency wise.

I’d try to get a little more. I negotiated 110k as a mid level 3 years ago.

I asked and got it and I regretted not going higher.

How many years experience?

4-5 years

Senior AD or AD?

Seems about right for a agency full time

Is there any way to secure a pay raise besides threatening to leave for a better offer? I tried to talk to my manager and he said “maybe at this time next year”, but suddenly after giving my notice the raise became possible now. I just feel bitter and want to leave anyways.

Hello,

I’ve recently been promoted to an Art Director’s title from being a Designer. However, I haven’t received a change in pay and was told that I will have to wait until I reach 1 year with company in the fall/winter cycle to receive the raise that comes with the title change. I currently make 63k with about 3 years of experience. What should I expect in my salary for this promotion to becoming an art director (from a designer)?

Does health/pharma pay better than regular agencies? Generally speaking.

Is pharma work at the lower level (thinking 2-4 years experience) really paid that well? I always hear pharma is where the money is at and I've got some student loans I'd like to pay off, but when I look around here I'm seeing only $70k for junior-mid...which doesn't seem like much more than a regular agency. Is the money just in the higher positions? Is it worth a hopefully-temporary switch to pay the bills early on?
