I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

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?

Having done the opposite (advertising to consulting via an MBA), I can tell you there are probably very few agencies, if any, that will value an MBA. Those that do will prefer to hire MBAs for Account, Strategy, Project Management, or back-office Finance roles. To pivot to a creative role (assuming Art or Copy), you would probably need to go to a portfolio school to build up a body of work that you can shop around to different agencies during interviews.
Personally, I felt the problems we were helping clients solve were incredibly limited in scope, and I had reached a point where I didn’t really believe I was learning anything new or working on anything different than the projects I had completed previously. I also found that the holding company model messed with the organizational dynamics of individual agencies in such a way that made it extremely difficult to collaborate effectively across the agency network (and to a lesser extent across departments in the same agency). Lastly, I found that the talent pipeline into the agency world wasn’t particularly strong, and even though I worked with some of the smartest and most creative people I’ve ever met, most of my colleagues were frankly lazy and uninterested in anything other than collecting a paycheck. That being said, I know others have had fantastic experiences at different agencies so would definitely encourage you to explore since there are so many types of agencies doing very different work and that have very different cultures.
