Have you checked salary ranges on job boards around you for the same type of position? The best offer you are going to get from a company is coming in the door. Checking this will give you an idea if it’s fair or not though. Salaries are going to be highly dependent on your skill level, industry, area and the company you work for. I live in a LCOL area in the Midwest. An account management job with a small team of 1-2 would have a base salary in the 90s range at director level here. You don’t mention a bonus structure. I’d inquire about that as that’s where you’ll make up the difference of what you are looking for.

Whar is clt?

Charlotte

For additional context: by biggest I mean highest scopes that significantly impact overall agency health. HR tried to tell me the range for the role was 100-110.

Honestly this is probably accurate. Maybe more like 110-120. Account directors in nyc start at ~130 so seems right that in Charlotte, it would be significantly lower. Once you’re in, keep good track of how much you’ve grown each account to fight for more $$ after 6-12 months.

Any idea what percent of the overall revenue these 2 accounts represent?

Also, do they have good benefits and perks to offer? I ask as I am working in mid sized agency in a (mostly) remote role which saves me a boatload of commuting time, gas and eating out expenses as well as savings in business clothing expense.

20-30% they haven’t shared details yet of benefits or perks. This role will be hybrid local office/wfh!

Hello,
I've recieved an offer from Morgan Stanley, my previous salary was around 6 Lpa and last offered was around 15 Lpa (WFH), I quoted 40 to 45% on top of that around 22 Lpa considering Mumbai location, WFO and Glassdoor pay range.
