Hi have an offer in hand, the job posting said $120k is median salary, I gave a range of $140-145. Offer is $140. It’s a big bump for me, but naturally I want to push for $150. Am I being irrational? How to approach?
If you gave a range if 140-145 then ask for 145 going above your range seems a little off, plus not a great start to a working relationship
Awesome. Thank you for being willing to help. I will pass this along :)
Sharing is caring
Your company’s salary bands aren’t competitive. You’re at the top of the range for your position and about $35-50k underpaid by current industry standards. You asked for a raise about a month ago, noted that recruiters have been knocking on your door and haven’t gotten any update from your boss. Now you are interviewing with two companies that pay what you should be making and are likely to get offers - neither of which is for a brand you really want to work on. Do you get the offer(s) and try to force your current agency’s hand? Do you flag it to your boss before you get the offers and ask them when / if this raise is happening? Not really interested in switching jobs - great team, award-winning work and decent work / life balance. Help. 🙏🏼
Change in the title is used for the salary bump, so no change. Speaking frankly, here we are in a different world from 26 months ago, so right now; you are gold dust need more women in senior roles
I’m looking for a new role after maternity leave. If I want to do a 4 day week how do I ensure I don’t leave money on the table? Do I really need to take a pro rata paycut of 20%? I’ve heard this is called The Mommy Tax.
The compressed workweek is a thing you can have as long as you like as long as you make it work for you and the company
What’s the best way to approach getting a salary adjustment based on the current inflation? I feel like it’s a valid ask, but I also feel weird because I’ve never asked for a raise for something that isn’t performance related.
I think it’s a valid ask. My agency just gave everyone a 5% raise across the board because of inflation. (I realize this is not higher than current inflation, but at least it helps)
You are moving up to Supervisor so do your research and ask for the going rate or what you would be happy with. if negotiations don't go well, then look for other offers
Thank you so much!
Is there a way to recover from an initial salary range discussion with the internal recruiter? Say if they initially said the range was 165-175 but asked if it was flexible more in the 190-200 range. It sounds like there is flexibility just not sure how much. Moving forward with interviews. And if assuming an offer is made how can ask for the 200k - it’s my number to move.
What level of a strat is 165-170? Just curious, is that director level?

FD, if you have two offers coming and the one you’re leaning towards you know will be lower in terms of salary…can you ask them to match the other offer.

I’ll be negotiating this coming week. Never really had to negotiate before bc I’ve been freelance. What are the main things you want to know about? So far for me: base salary, signing bonus, 401k match, other benefits, bonus structure (how often do ppl get it and what’s a typical %). How do I ask what the salary band for the role is and then ask for somewhere higher in that range without sounding like I’m greedy?
Thanks! I have been told I might get offered an ACD role but I truly don’t think I’ll know until I’m on the call with the agency recruiter. Bit frustrating but remaining realistic. Will be prepared with both title salary ranges. I haven’t heard of an employer delaying benefits. Bonus makes sense if it was 12 months out but what other things could be an 18 month wait?
Hey! I find it really hard to know my “worth” and what is a competitive rate for my role. I’m in client operations (not ad ops), so I manage billings, budgets, financial reporting for large portfolio of clients. Four direct reports. Have 9 years experience, 5 at major holding comp. Where/how would I go about finding competitive salaries in order to figure out if I’m being paid appropriately?
I think you have just detailed your worth above now you need to highlight what you have brought to the company. When you say your worth sit down and think what you would be happy with your output and work from that point
If you want your current agency to match an offer, do you tell your manager you have an offer once you get it, or before? I’ve found that typically offers expire in two days, is that enough time for your current agency to counter?
Also are counters ever less than what the offer? Or do they typically match it?
If your good they will match it at a blink of an eye. If not be prepared to leave
I'm a sr copywriter looking to move to copy supervisor, inshallah with a salary bump -- annual review coming up. I've got recruiters contacting me basically every day, but is the only way to do this with an offer in-hand?
Agency in LA asked for a range regarding a junior copywriter position. I said 70-75k and they responded that the role is budgeted but may be able to “get close” to that, but didn’t disclose the actual salary (Glassdoor says ~63k). Interviews went really well and I’m expecting an offer to come through this week and plan to negotiate as I am still very interested in the opportunity.
With ~1 year experience in creative and 1.5 on account, How likely is it I can actually secure an offer within the 70-75k range?
