CD1 relax - everyone knows our jobs are not important.
Nurses do something useful at least, they should get paid more for sure...
Well we ALL MAKE MORE THAN PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS!

Well ya then that’s definitely why.... it’s soulless when you’re hocking burgers and bullshit constantly for conservative clients with no creativity.
We do something useful too. We help sell products that pay for several people’s salaries. If you don’t believe in the products you sell - find a better fit.
I work a year and a half in hours for every year I spend at this job. I wish I hadn’t realized that
$18.97/hr 😐
I once calculated my time for 3 months. It was 4.5 months work of time had I been billing 40 hours a week
It’s unfortunate if you believe that. Then again I might have a different outlook since I mostly work on non profit / purpose driven brands.
Entry level employees at a lot of agencies in Chicago and New York are pretty much literally minimum wage employees. At the end of 2018 NY is increasing to $15 ($31,200 per year assuming 40 hour weeks). However, you’re expected to have a degree to get an advertising job which would require most people to take on a substantial amount of debt, which I think really shrinks our talent pool and limits diversity, but I guess that’s another story.
$9.57 an hour. Nice
To feel worse look at what you get billed out at. I’m at like ~$180/hr I think, depending on the project/client.
105 an hour pre-tax, excluding bonus. About 67 an hour post-tax. Assuming an average of 50 hours per week
P1. Very true. I own a business as well and I can tell you the cost of benefits is flipping astronomical.
Not that I think we should actually accept our average hourly rate given we all work 40+.
I do agree however that our benefits are a massive, and often overlooked, part of our comp.
After taxes I’m $21/hour. My part time retail job is $12.50/hour - more than half my full time 🤦🏻♀️ my friend who’s a nurse makes $60/hour plus overtime
$20/hr
I did that once when I was working 16+ hours a day. It wasn't pretty.
Is this also taking into account your vacation days, illness hours, and benefits. That adds up to a decent amount
Went from 25 to 37.5. Lmao
Benefits...
