Where are you making $134 and are they hiring?
Seriously let us know. Most agencies in Chicago seem to do 110-140 for acds but closer to 120 overall unless you have lions or d&ad
seems on higher end for acd in Chicago honestly
Normal is $115k - $120k. More if you are an award winning ACD looking to make the move
I am at 130 so pretty normal
You’re at the higher end of ACD salaries. I’m guessing $150+ for a new CD.
Realistically? $150k-$180k but they’ll try and get you for less. Remember that raises and promotions slow down once you hit CD, so negotiate high. Might be your last bump for a long time.

Depends on what you bring to the table. If you’re more traditional minded, most agencies will put you at around $135k/$140k. If you plan to push innovation (not just talk about it) and know your way around digital (banner ads don’t count) then you’re looking at the upper tier $155k+.
