How do you fight for your worth when it comes to your salary? Do you even bother or just move on to another agency? Especially when you're working at a good agency and top client.

If it is important, fight. If their hands are tied or they are not willing to pay you what you deserve, move on. The game is ridiculous. Wish agencies would learn to keep their talent pool happy proactively without having to be threatened by departure.

It depends on how you phrase the conversation. If you say "I want to make X amount" you are doomed to fail. If you say, "I am worth X a year" then you flip he conversation in your favor. Your employer will never ever say "you are not worth..."
But they will ask you to explain why you are worth whatever amount.

You will only know your worth by interviewing somewhere else, unfortunately. A great shop would pay the talent well enough they wouldn't think of the need to try.
