Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

Where would the move be to? The days of the big boy salaries are gone. All the people who got them didn’t deliver and ruined it for the rest.
Differs by industry I would imagine. Sounds about right for Shopper Marketing which is very prevalent in Chicago
All these numbers that are being thrown around are wrong. 130k for a CD in Chicago? Ummmm, I’m a Senior Copywriter and I’m close to making 130k. I don’t live in LA or New York.
Really depends on the agency and role, as well as your experience. For DDB, I’d say 160-200. For a smaller shop, less than that. But less than 150 is insane.
Depends on the shop and size, but yeah you ain't gonna make new york or LA money here unless they think the company will collapse without you.
Yes shit is that bad right now
Those are ACD ranges though. CD is Chicago should be 170/80+. Def know some making 200+
ACD1 there are plenty of ACDs making 90 a year.
No. That’s more like ecd salary. 130-150 is what a cd would be making in Chicago. Ha. Are you coming from New York? Because that sounds like you are asking New York prices. Good luck getting 200 for a cd in Chicago.
@FCB1 don’t undersell yourself. These are average CD salaries in Chicago. And I know several people who are at the top of those averages and over.
Tell the recruiter if they cut their fee you could make more money
They are lowballing you pure and simple. Only a smaller shop would be telling you that. Average CD salary in Chicago among all agencies is $165-170k. The more experience and awards you have the more north of that you will make. @FCB 1, FCB pays the least for CDs among big shops in Chicago. Plus you are way off on ECD salary. At FCB, the ECDs are all making at least $225k, I know one who is making $285k.
@lb1 90 a year as an acd? Ouch. Figured CD salary in Chicago was more like 160-200 depending on experience and lions. I know acds pulling 120-130ish there.
