Did the average salary in New York go down or something? About 3 years ago, creatives with 1–2 years of experience were getting around $70K, but now I’m hearing that $70K is considered generous even for someone with 3 years of experience.

Salaries are going down but rent isnt 🫠

That is not “generous” by any stretch, even in this market.

I got 70k as a junior out of ad school, it probably has gone down because of how awful the market is and they know they can probably get someone to take 70 even though they’re worth closer to 100 in better times.

There's definitely been downward pressure on wages. Hold the line as best you can.

Yes it certainly feels that way.
I was laid off at the start of Covid, and began freelancing for a a year and some change before getting back to FT. I watched salaries bump up by maybe 25% or so as there was a lull of workers while I was looking for a job. It seems as though the market has shifted and salaries have fallen back to pre-COVID rates. Maybe a little less due to a buyers market. Just my observation.

Yes. The industry is going away.

I would say so. I haven’t gotten a raise in 3 years and they won’t promote me despite great reviews for 5 years.

Yes. Some years ago senior level production jobs were at $150k give or take. Now I’m seeing the same roles at $110, $125 barely. And if I want to have a laugh, the same job in any online publication, (trying to survive by making videos because no one reads), is at 90, 100k. In a perfect world no one should be a senior producer or operations lead for 95k!

Not to beat a dead horse but the perfect world is in the rear view mirror.

My starting rate was 90$k for my 1-2 years… that was back in 2009.

I started at $35k in 2008. $70k would’ve been amazing. It’s taken me almost 17 years to get up to $200k.

Freelance and full time rates have gone down to what they were 10 years ago

Yes. I've seen them go down. They actually seem to be exactly the same as they were in the mid-2000s.

HR pros - I have a question for you. I got disappointing news that I didn’t get either of the roles I applied for. I was shocked because the interviews went really well and my experience was in line, if not on the higher end of requirements. I was told that it was my salary and job title expectation. I’d be ok with that if they hadn’t flown my ass out there to meet with everyone. They knew my salary and position expectations before inviting me to the interview. Should I buy it?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
