Do agencies match your salary if you get an offer from another agency? I am in the final interview process with another agency with not an amazing salary increase ($10k) I was wondering if agencies can afford paying some more money to keep you if you are an integral part of an account with extremely high turnover.

Context: Entry level planner position with 1 year experience, $45k salary.

Thanks everyone!

Depends on the agency and their budget. You could always ask, but be prepared to walk away if they turn you down.

Most won’t counter these days because people end up either leveraging for more money at the new job or leave 3 months later with the higher pay. Just be ready to walk away if they say no.

You’re only a year in - talk with your director about your growth plan. If you feel you’re learning and growing then it may be more valuable than leaving and not having that.

If you jump, don’t expect a counter. 👋🏼

In my experience, if your agency values you, they will match the offer.

They might. I would ask. What do you have to lose really?

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)
