Money does go much further in KC, but 72 as a low end is pretty lame. I think in 2021, anyone youd call an ECD has earned the respect of a six figure salary.

I work out of the VMLY&R KC office. That's the LinkedIn estimate, not the real salary.

Is that the actual salary? Or just one of those horrible estimated salaries that are usually wrong?

God LinkedIn sucks at guessing. They should just give it up at this point, it’s embarrassing.

That’s just a Linkedin-provided figure. Not too many ECD salaries or positions so they probably just pulled CD salaries in KC across big and small agencies alike, hence the 72k

I know they pay $140K to CDs at the KC office, which is still very low compared to NY. But it’s not their ECD rate.

140 to a CD? Ouch

Relax, the job isn’t real either.

I wonder what their clients would say if they saw that number and then compared it to the hourly ECD rate they are being charged.
