Creative Director (working abroad), 12 yrs exp, with dozens of international awards (including grand prix). How much should I ask for a CD position in NYC? And in SF?

$300 is 10 years ago for a CD unless you’ve got major name recognition.

$275 in NYC is probably max, so start there and be comfortable going to $250.

If you’re aiming for GCD level, then you can get closer to that $300, but there aren’t many GCD roles running around anymore

No, not in the US. Got your point.

250K-280K

It depends. The CD title on the west coast is less inflated than in NY, so you could probably get more there. A CD at Goodby probably makes 3-400k, if not more, depending on the account. A friend of mine started at one of the dinosaur agencies in SF as a CD a few months back at $270k. The tech companies here would probably pay around the same, but you’d get quite a but of equity on top of that.

2-300k

So 250k to 275k, right?
