Damn, it really is an employee’s market right now. I’m interviewing around and none of the recruiters are flinching at my total comp requirements. I’m 31M, NYC, 8 years of experience and seeking $160-$170K for senior marketing roles.

Total comp at 170k is not that high.

@contentdirector, you are absolutely underpaid. 125k is what a season senior copywriter or art director makes. You have to reevaluate your position/role. This role, from what I know, is at least 150 to 180 base. And 6 years in position is too long at that number.

Ask for 200. See how that goes?

Wow, maybe I am very underpaid. I also have 8 years of experience but in NYC at a tech co

Their flinching means nothing until you get the offer.

Is Content Director a creative role?

Hybrid. Content strategy

Yeah I feel like this is sorta medium to low for 8 yrs experience in nyc? But I don’t fully understand the role so I could be wrong

Sorry, just responded to you under another comment. 8 years, 200k, Chicago

Exactly. Ask for more. If they accept (or you do) you left $ on the table. After you do your best salary wise look for other ways to bridge the gap.

Holy cow I’m underpaid!

You should be asking for at least 180K 😳

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.
