Challenge: can you guess the salary of an in-house director/editor at a top-3 agency?

I am interviewing for this role and am unsure what industry standard is for this fairly unconventional job. Duties include directing spots for major clients (pharma, cars, etc) and editing most of my own work.

Is there an industry standard for this role?

You’ll have to mention the city!!

Maybe $170k

What is a top-3 agency? Who defines that?

Location?

In that case, just wait until tomorrow when the new salary transparency law takes effect. The salary range should be included in the posted job description.

What do I win if I guess the closest to the actual number?

My guess is that they’re looking for a way to make inexpensive content. Otherwise, they would not be expecting the same person to shoot and edit. There are quite a few shooter/editor folks in the market who are at the beginning of their careers, who are looking to build a reel. And you know what that means. I’d be surprised if this job paid more than $120k.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales.

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
