Earning 58k in Chicago as an in-house marketing copywriter (I’m told it’s low). Readying for my next move, but have no idea how much to expect. 7 years’ experience, agency and brand side.

7 years? You should be asking for at least $80k. And if your book is up to snuff, maybe you should be considered senior? Then you can make even more.

Really depends on what you’ve been writing all these years

If you’re good - would you hire you? - promote yourself as senior, even ACD. 7 years is a damn long time. I called myself a senior CW after a year in-house and a year freelancing. Confidence is everything.

Curious what has worked best for others. If you talk numbers in the first call with recruiter/HR, realize there’s much more money on the table, interviews go well and expect an offer, when is the best time to bring up the new number? Before they draw up offer? Or during negotiating initial offer?
