I made $130k 4 years ago at a small, but very well regarded shop. I feel like I was underpaid. There were senior creatives making close to 200k there. Unfortunately I didn’t find out till I was on my way out. Generally I think most people in advertising undervalue themselves and that’s just the way the agencies want it. It all depends where you are going and how good your book is, but I say 150k as a floor

Currently making 115k if that helps. 200k seems crazy to me.

Thank you everyone!! I’m currently at 90k so for the agency I’m at 115k seems to be the most realistic for what they will offer me. Over the last year especially I’ve realized that sadly with the hours we work in this industry I’ll die feeling underpaid. We all probably make less than minimum wage when looked at hourly fml

$90-$115

Think I made around $135k when I was one

I made 100 about 5 years ago. Felt an little underpaid

Yeah at most big shops they cap out at 120 or 125. Sometimes there’ll be a senior team that can’t manage so they haven’t been given a CD title, they’re the only ones I’ve ever known to make more.

I’m currently a Grade 11 at Cisco. With the recent pay structure changes my annual comp will be $150k + 12% bonus. I live in a large metro area in the middle of the US. I’m looking to move around the company so that I can make commission but I don’t want to be an account manager. Can anyone tell me if there are Customer Success Managers, etc positions that manage customers post sale and have a similar range base as me with commission plans? I’m just trying to understand income potential.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

Verizon data services llc - CTC 18LPA , Fixed - 16.1LPA

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA
Tech - Networking and Security

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.

Pls DM if interested.
