Here's the thing: you can't do great work without political capital at your agency. That capital comes from building relationships, helping others do great work, and doing your job extremely well, and with a good attitude, and not being an asshole. When you leave an agency, you forfeit all that capital and have to build it anew. So staying, fighting for good work, and delivering it over and over, you'll get rewarded.
And again, you DON'T have to be cutthroat to get there.
OP - that wasn't the answer to my question. Your original post did not request "the real questions" around title/city/salary/yrs. exp. from people. You're getting a mixed bag of responses. My question of curiosity is about what you aim to learn by all the responses you're getting?
Chicago, Pro Bono
NYC 385k
In 20 years I've been at only four agencies.
Didn't know bonuses were a thing
NY 35k 😰
Nomadic Freelancer 180-250k
NYC, 90
NYC, 80k // by choice! I work as little as possible.
OP - just out of curiosity, what insight do you hope to gain from this exercise? It's hard to get much without understanding at least discipline, title and yrs exp.
SapientRazorfish 1, I figured title+city+salary was a decent amount of info. Never knew how accurate/current Glassdoor's salary info is.
Also, I learned that I need to only work at 4 agencies and become a CD in NYC and I'll be making 400k, guaranteed.
