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.

So I posted a bit ago about getting IV hydration and vitamins. You guys gave me the courage to try it. After I had it done, I didn't feel much of a difference and figured I just spent a bunch of $ to relax for an hour in a massage chair. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But this has been the best week I've had energy-wise in the last seven months. And I kind of wish I could post before/after pics because apparently I was very bloated. I've been focusing on keeping up with my hydration at home. Thx ladies!
