Advice needed: I’m a mid-level CW at a fast growing agency in ATL. My company found out I was planing to leave; I had a new job offer in hand. They have now offered to promote me to SR CW. We’re chatting about salary next week. What numbers have other CWs asked for when being promoted to SR?

Think about why you wanted to leave in the first place.

It probably wasn't just money. Whatever issues or reasons or personalities that made you want to leave will still exist after the raise. Is a little more money worth it?

I’d be shocked if they offered anything more than a $10k raise.

80-120 is rough range for sr cws in Atlanta. I’d ask for 100 but plan on being offered less than that. If you love your team and you’re making good work, may be worth staying put. Only a few places in town making work that will build your book.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
