Hey friends, I’m entertaining a new job offer moving from a mid size agency to a super small agency for a position that is half traffic half account services director (it’s that small) but with the knowledge the role will morph into full time account services director in a years time.

Lady says $80k is her max but that was for when it full time traffic. Since I can bring client services, scoping, organic growth, new biz, strategy and copywriting to the table, what’s an appropriate compensation

Get it guaranteed in writing that it will be a full time director role in a year or less (with someone to take over your traffic duties) otherwise no amount of $$ would be worth it. Things change all the time in small agencies and two years from now, you could find yourself still running traffic and 100% overwhelmed while the owner says “just hold on a few more months until the budget gets better.”

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.
