5 years of experience and at Account Director? Seems off.
That would impact the salary range, meaning you’d probably fall at the low end. Junior AD would be more $110K to $140K tops. Senior AD could be up to $180K.
👆 you’re talking about a Group Director. That’s $180K+
Following this! Let's see if NYC salaries make me die inside
Agency size? Account size? Direct reports? All definitely matter. I’d say 5 years Account experience = $100k-$120k. Putting title aside.
(P.S. @MD1 a good, Senior AD that’s driving legitimate growth of an account is easily $200k++. Pay the people what they’re worth!)
Yeah are you saying you’ve been an account director for five years, or you have five years experience total?
@MD1 I guess I’ll consider myself well paid then :)
