Not underpaid but definitely overvalued.

No. Maybe overpaid actually.

That’s about where I was at 8 years ($120k). At the next job I took a big jump to $170k. Our role at our level is a bit of a crapshoot and depends on agency size and your resume I think.

I once made 700k as a junior in Omaha, Nebraska. Quit after a month once I ran out of coworkers to get validation from.

You deserve the 700k+ if you are this humble.

If it helps to further validate, I’ve grown scope on existing accounts by 150% , as well as helped closed roughly $8M in net new revenue (of course with the help of the creative , strategy and media teams )

Don’t feel like you need to validate yourself here homegirl. If you’re good at what you do (and it sounds like you are) then you are not overpaid. I’d even say ask for more in your next role. Haters gonna hate.

No you are not, more likely overpaid.

I think actually overpaid for 8 years of experience in account management. Underpaid if you were a creative.

I think you are in the range. I make roughly the same with similar experience. There’s a lot of room to grow. Depending of the agency I’ve seen up to 175k.

Why ask? Of course you’re overpaid. This whole great system makes us overpaid. I’m an acd and am underpaid. You’re killing it. Well done.

I don’t think so. Based on what I’ve heard in NY

Are you in pr or advertising? Pr no, advertising, yes.

Not underpaid

Being female probably doesn’t tip the scale here. Account is almost always female.

LOL

You’re good. Live your life.

I think you’re being paid well. Seen ACDs & CDs settle for less at gold shops.

Hello FishBowl,

I’m in the final rounds of my interview process for a NYC Hedge fund, non tech role. The recruiter mentioned the compensation package is bonus heavy which can be multiples of base salary. Though they will guarantee a full bonus (sign on + year end) for my first year. 300k target

My current role/company is salary focused so I’m out of my element negotiating the bonuses.

What type of questions should I ask the recruiter about the bonus payouts? Vesting?
