Are my expectations out of line? I make $82k (Los Angeles, experienced senior in tax, B4) and I'm looking to transition to private. All jobs I'm finding are $80-90k salary range. I keep hearing that I should be able to score a 20% raise moving from PA to private, but I'm not seeing it. Should i keep looking or reevaluate what I'm looking for?

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
