I wonder about reaching such level that I would become more vulnerable to shifts/changes and be labeled as "too expensive to be in this meeting". Advertising is a very young industry and sometimes it feels like being senior and high ranking can backfire. Thoughts?
VP1 - it happens less at a mid-size agency where we don't have to track hours. but absolutely a concern at a big shop where you're tracking hours and have to watch billable %
SVP/Director 1 - I completely agree with the non-NYC comment. and $200K in Minneapolis >> $200K in NYC.
14 years as a producer with 4 agency changes in SF, Boston and NY. Jumped $200k when I became an EP, in NY.
It depends a lot on your role and the size of company. I also suspect it takes a lot longer than it use to.
11 years at 1 agency. I asked for a pay increase once but otherwise have been promoted/rewarded organically. I'm not in NYC and I think that matters.
I'm a producer at bbdo. Wtf?
207k. Role, responsibilities, company size, and which group you fall under (creative vs. tech etc) all play a big difference.
I made 240 freelancing after year 3. 200 FT took 13 years and 6 agencies.
I'm at 175 as a VP of Strategy at a midsize agency (100 people). 10 years agency experience. 9 at my last agency (big shop), 1 at my current. I will say my current agency was impressed by my tenure at my last one. 5 years in-house to start my career. I also have a masters from a top 25 school (which in strategy does count for something).
I'd expect 200 at my next level, but it's a few years down the road. I also know a lot of SVPs who don't make the money I make.
fire away with questions.
12 years, 4 agencies and hit 200 as a VP
8 years, two agencies hit over 200 as an SVP but negotiated hard when I reached that level.
