Any advice on nailing the perfect headline?
If you’re white like me it’s so important to realize that we were raised in a society where institutionalized racism is normalized, and we were born with privilege. You can’t choose the color of your skin, but you can choose to put ego aside and reflect on why this isn’t happening to me, and be vocal about being anti-racist.
How I’m feeling today..

lol I make 35 🖕🏻
43 for an AAE is on the higher end among NYC agencies. Yes it's not much money for cost of living but you could be worse. I make 35 (and understand I'm on the lower end)
You'll double that once you get to AE/SAE.
Someone just posted this this weekend. Scroll down. But yeah, any entry level in this industry is murderous hours and shit pay. Sorry little dude. But it does get better.
That's kinda rough, but overall I think most agencies are good at periodic (at least yearly) reviews and raises. Good luck!
43 in NY is hard, but just work yourself to the next level as quickly as you can. Life will be bearable and get better in a few...
Yes, as others mentioned, it does get better, but your starting salary at AAE is not out of the norm... Hang in there and please live within your means / get roommates / live outside Manhattan, etc.
What is your salary?
43
As an ABS in NY? That's insane...
Oh yeah- at a pretty top notch agency right now. I'm taking it all in for six months and then surfing around for some offers
