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.

like

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.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

I had a call w/ a recruiter and after hearing about the job, I *really* want it. But I’m worried I priced myself out of the role. I sent my resume/portfolio after and haven’t even gotten a reply that she received it, and I’ve followed up. I’ve been getting recruiter messages offering salaries up to 120k for copy/senior copy roles (which surprised me) so I gave 110-120 as a range on the call. She hesitantly said she thought 115 would be OK. But wondering if the salary could be the issue? Thought?

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
