A little older for a Jr but the price is right

I know plenty of juniors that started out around 45 - 50.

45 is low for nyc if you came from portfolio school

Change your resume/LinkedIn and call yourself mid level. Then apply for a new job, and ask for $65k. Settle at $60k.

You good. That’s average.

It’s all about your years of experience, not your actual age. First gig as a Jr. was 40k/M/NYC. That said, best thing you can do for a salary hike is go to another shop and act like you’re already making more when you interview. Also win awards or get press by submitting passion projects to Creativity Online and other trade publications.

How old are you now?

I started at 45k as a jr. in NYC at 27. Sucks but put in the work and you’ll be good.

City and years of experience matter.
I'm in nyc and as a junior was making 54k but came from a portfolio school.

like

Are you in NY

That’s what I started at. Might be low for big city but not by much.

I started at 50k as a Junior after portfolio school and not in NYC. So if you are in NY, that’s definitely on the lower end.

Depends on your years of experience. 47k is for when you just start out like 1-2 years of experience. It’s harder to get a raise internally. Make a jump and you should get 10-15k more.

That sounds correct for junior.

What city? Impossible to say without knowing

Just stop calling yourself a junior. Anyone can do mid level copy.

Almost all juniors (esp in NYC) will destroy their credit cards for the first 2-4 years of their career. Not an excuse... just a word of caution.

Likely getting an offer soon - already have planned vacation starting Tuesday until the new year. Do I give notice before I get the written offer/background check so I can leave before holidays but risk offboarding during vacation or give notice my first day back? At a startup so not sure if they'd want me out asap (cash strapped) or expect me to stay 2 weeks. I dont care much about pay, more about optimizing my time before next job (burnt out)
