Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

They pushed back.

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏

Have been at my agency for about 2.5 years and have only been able to get one raise because of Covid and raise freezes… what percentage increase is a good benchmark to ask for, knowing they likely won’t meet my initial ask (because, advertising 😏)
