They lowballed you.
I started out in LA 2019 and made 60k
This is a good range for us, I believe.
This has been true for the most part in my experience. ACD feels a little low. Probably more like $135k as the low range.
I made 55k in 2013 as a junior at an Omnicom agency.
You got lowballed as hell.
Yes, any money is better than $0. Good one.
I also recall seeing a link but that one hasn’t been updated b frequently the last time I saw. Me: NY, senior designer 145k (new title is from previous freelance gigs)

Think this already exists…
What you make now as a junior might be perfectly in line with the market. It all depends on where you are and what kind of work you are doing. If you’re at a “name” agency and putting good work in your book, after two years you should be up to $80k there. Otherwise, you can jump to another agency for $100k. But if you’re at a mediocre shop for a long time at a low salary… not good.
Looking for that link too. We are so underpaid
