Hold your ground. They pull that crap because people allow them to by taking it. I understand that some people can find themselves between a rock and a hard place in this market. But if you can afford to, wait until you find a place that is both willing and able to pay you what you’re worth.

Sadly there’s more demand for snow shovelers than ad people…

As a very experienced writer, I had agencies offering me $25 to $35 an hour last year. I always told them that’s barely more than I can make working at Chik-fil-A. In one week, I had three different recruiters contact me about a position at Capital One paying $35/hour. Shame on them!
