85k for a senior role is crazy. Def should be no lower than 100K. Please keep fighting the good fight.
Unfortunately, the ad market is so terrible right now and layoffs are everywhere people will take whatever they can get and companies are taking full advantage of it. When/if it stabilizes, count on those people leaving as soon as they can.

This is exactly the truth. Unfortunately it’s simple supply and demand.
They’ll get someone. But they’ll get what they pay for.
You're right. That's ridiculous.

What’s their rationale for the cap?
That’s the daily life of a recruiter. Companies really like to use underpaid staff as a justification for hiring more underpaid staff.
Ps 100kish is the current market rate for senior writers in chicago.

FCB?
Sounds like FCB
85k could be the lowest end but definitely not the cap. 120k would be super competitive for chicago i think especially in this market. ya get what ya pay for. you can easily get a 2 year senior for the low end but probably not a 5-7 year writer
i tend to agree but juniors hardly make a living wage so i get the desire to move up quick. if people have the book/talent and corporate finesse/dedication to move up the ladder, i jealously applaud them. plus overall instability in the industry (and job market in general), it seems sorta like a race to higher salaries and then to ride it out as long as ya can
In-house or agency?
Agency
It’s ridiculous but people are taking these jobs because of AI crap.
