All of our companies have money. It bothers me when they pretend they’re poor. So long as you’re in a skyscraper and publicly-held, money can be found.

The funniest part is how there's never any money for raises or opportunities for promotions until you have an offer somewhere else, then the floodgates suddenly open.

D5 #4, we already work 60-80 hr weeks so honestly more money would definitely make that feel a little less miserable. (And if you aren’t please tell me what department you’re in)

And the fact that - I can’t speak for all departments - we’ve been losing clients and work loads thus not really needing to rehire as much as people think. It’s more of giving the current hard-working employees more opportunities where deserved and actually making employees feel like they are valued and respected.

D5 #3, not commenting on anything else, because I don’t know, but if you took the $ from people who left voluntarily and gave it to people who stayed, instead of using it to hire replacements, you’d be richer, but also expected to work 60-80hr weeks each week to cover the slack. So assuming that $ is being saved for replacement hires.

Droga has pretty many cool accounts, and droga gives great chances to everyone including even interns and Juniors. If you did well, you can move to the other agency with great works.

What's the best way to ask for a pay raise?

When I was headhunted for the job, ESG was a relatively new concept and too few companies hire for related positions. I didn't find any salary range from Glassdoor or anywhere so I had no idea. My fault was I did not ask the HR and just gave my asking salary. When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
