joking aside: request no less than a 20% bump to jump from one level to the next.

research on here is about right. ACD in LA is in the $130 - $150k range. if it’s a big shop like saatchi. smaller places won’t have the $ for that usually. that’s why they hand out titles.

Thanks for the input. You'll never figure out who I am though ;)

You'll never figure it out because I'm not at saatchi anymore. Fishbowl is just terrible about updating info.

senior AD in saatchi LA? there’s like 6 of you.

There are 6 art directors that aren't ACD or higher at saatchi these days?

no, there are about that many senior teams (6 copy, too). then there are mids and juniors. and then there are also acds. and that’s LA. dallas is essentially an extension of the office too. it’s a pretty big department.

That was the best excuse ever. Haha

...well, then 😜
