150k for senior is hugely inflated. That’s an ACD salary.

Seniors make anywhere from 100k to maybe 150k. Low end for shitty shops (like Vayner). High end for amazing writers who don’t want to be CDs.

Don’t sell yourself short. That won’t get you a job here. Act like you’re amazing and put your shoulder into it and no one will tell the difference.

Lmao there’s no money in advertising fam

$100k. Was going up for a while, but Now that all the holding companies have instructed recruiters to try to pay CDs only $150-175k (as opposed to 200 to 250 & up 10 yrs ago), all other levels are getting sandwiched down as well.

I am feeling hopeless. I’m a tax senior been through 4 busy seasons with Deloitte.

I don’t know who is willing to hire me because I feel pigeonholed. I’m just hating every moment with this firm right now. Any advice on what positions/companies might be best to look into?

Thanks everyone.
