Considering a move out west from NYC, make 100K currently, what is a lateral salary equivalent in the LA area/how much of a pay cut should I expect for AD roles?

If you have a good book, it’ll depend on how well you negotiate. The more important thing is cost of living. Bankrate.com has a good calculator for that. I’m in Portland. Here, the salaries might be 10% lower, but the cost of living is 30% lower. So, even at $90k you are better off.

Why take a pay cut when you could get a raise instead?

My point was that you always have to look at income in relation to cost of living. If you get a bump in pay, but in a more expensive city, it could actually be a step down. If you make a lateral salary move, but to a cheaper city, it’s a step up.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
