Feels low to me. I’d say at least 140K in a major city for an account director.

That’s right on track for Chicago.

I'd say shoot for 120. Doubt you'll get more than that in Chicago where cost of living is much cheaper than most major markets.

The other has asked me what an ideal salary would be and I don’t want to go too low right out of the gate

Or use that to negotiate. So I need 120k to turn down the other offer and I need it in writing.

How many years of experience do you have?

200 in Chicago at the bigger agencies

WLB is next to zero as 60hr weeks are the minimum as of late. Management feels like they are trying to push a few of us out. Was told not to expect much come year end for comp. Any suggestions on finding a new role/pay expectations?

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
