At what position is the earliest that I can make 100K in Chicago on the account side? Sup/Manager? Associate Director? Just a young person looking for goals and money to look forward to.

Either as an experienced Sup, or Associate Director/Director. Better chance of getting there faster if you make thoughtful and strategic moves at the right times and to the right agencies.

I’d say for the most part at AD, if you can sell yourself/negotiate well enough at a new place going for a sup/manager role MAYBE?

If you stay in ad you may be able to crack it at the Sup level in a bigger agency. I’ve head tbwa you can.

Probably GAS or AD.

It took me until Account Director, 6 years total.

Hi, currently i am working with icici bank in backend operations in CIB team as Deputy manager but i am looking for an opportunity in Accenture can anyone help with the openings or referral??

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
