Been offered a CD role at an LA agency for 200k. I’ve been in-house for a while so maybe i got used to the tech salary, but seems awfully low, no?

I’m gonna go against the grain and say its a bit low for a good agency in LA. I’d push for 225 depending on how much experience and how strong your book is.

Yeah ideal would be 250 imo

Lower than that for a CD almost everywhere else.

3rding!! I've seen CD roles drop back down to 130K, which is a terrible. I'd sign that paper fast!

Salaries are lower since there are fewer CD jobs than ever and more CDs than ever. If you don’t want that job, there are 20 people who really need it.

Anecdotally, that hasn’t been my experience over the last 6 months-year. Within reason, if an agency really wants you, they’ll make it work. Basicallly every job I was offered with a salary of 210 was able to stretch their offer, some all the way to 250.

Way of the world right now.

Way of the road, bud

All relative.

Depends on the details.

CD salaries being offered in NYC been around that last couple of years too.

It’s my theory that rates have fallen. I’m remote in LA and get under that. Keeping my eye out for options to test that theory. But have heard some shockingly low numbers outside LA.

Both.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
