Longest I've gone without an increase has been 1.5 years. But that also involved changing agencies.

OP please consider switching. 4 yrs, even in this industry, is too ling

Assuming you have had average or better performance, 4 years is unacceptable. Unless there are specific reasons to stay, you'd make more if you left. Remember to go to glass door or salary.com and bump up your asking price. An average Director in NYC is around 150k/135 in CHI. Good luck.

@OP that sucks. Time to jump and negotiate an increase

Why have you stayed this long at this level and salary?

Account people jump up in pay so fast. Creative seems opposite. I hear tuns with n raises after a few years. I feel terrified the market is so oversaturated.

^which industry isn't these days?

@AccountDirector - does your performance review offer any insight? What does your manager say? I would've left after 2.

That's an oversight - no cost of living increase either? Or just nothing significant?
