A friendly reminder to jr and mid-level creatives: loyalty rarely get you anywhere in this industry. At the beginning of the year I was making 50k and since jumping to two different jobs I’m now making 95k. The moment you feel you aren’t in a position to grow/learn anymore is the moment you should be looking for a new job. That jump will most likely come with a pay bump too.

Loyalty to an agency almost always leads to financial stagnation. Loyalty to good bosses and great coworkers is how you succeed in this industry. Doubly true if you ever decide to go freelance.

On the flip side: I went from $110 to $175k in 4 months by staying - sometimes you’re recognized and don’t need to jump!

Be loyal to the people who helped you get to where you are, not the agency. Just be careful not to jump around too much, it tends to be a red flag to hiring managers when you receive resumes that list multiple 6-months-or-less jobs in a row. i tend to think either the person is incompetent and gets fired a lot or is just here as a money grab and i’ll have to be repeating the same hiring process again in a few months.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
