Finally got an interview at Milk Makeup where I’ve wanted to work a while for an AD role. They cap at 100k so I had to turn down continuing on. Was very surprised at how low the rate is for how big the role seems.

I think small (but flashy) brands are always like that. I had a conversation with a similar lifestyle brand that is pretty hyped on social media and the salary range was waaaaaay below average. Tho 100k for an AD role isn’t massively lower than average for brand side, no? I might be wrong but i know design directors on brand side that make 145k-150k.

Brand side (Beauty/skincare) always depends on the brand and how the prioritize Creative/Content within their org. With my interview process the average for AD brand side has been 130k.
