4 years ACD, give or take.

160-180

Pretty accurate in SF. I've seen it stretch to 200k recently, but that's about where agencies top out for ACD here. Go tech though and that's where they start.

Depends on experience and the type of the opportunity. Very lowest end at for a Sr. Creative moving to ACD at a boutique shop probably $135-140k. ACD with awards on the cusp of CD at a large holdco shop probably $185-190k.

Check their title structure too. Some places have more layers like

EVP, SVP, VP
CD, ACD
SrAD AD

…meaning a lower pay for ACD at that place compared to places with only ECD and CD above.

I’m at 180k (base + bonus) as a new ACD in SF

like

I’m 185 in NY

I think the average is somewhere around $110K-$140K.

That is a senior range I'd say. ACD should start around 140-150

I'm at 148 (haven't updated my title on fishbowl). 10 years experience

I’m at 155k (first year as ACD - agency side)

I would ask for no less than 175k.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
