As an ACD for a Chicago agency, how much should I be making? Keeping in mind that I've been hired in a permanently remote role and live in Orlando (for now). If it matters, it's a biopharma agency of about 250 employees.

ACD in a big market could be as low as 130 and as high as 180.

Typically below 130 youre a high-end sr creative and above 180 youve usually been promoted to CD. Somewhere in the 140 to 170 range is pretty typical.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
