13 yoe, 160k nyc, big global agency, female. I’m underpaid and leaving soon because of it. Every recruiter I talk to says I should be 180-200. (My title on fb isn’t accurate, I’m vpad)
Also, a lot of these people commenting are clearly not in advertising (ie - the AE with three yrs exp making more than you) so take their feedback with a big grain of salt. I do think you’re underpaid. Should probs be at 150 in chi.
I think so, I work for a startup so I also include the benefits and the team. If you have a good team that adds significantly to the value of your job
You are underpaid.
What do you think is a reasonable range for my title/experience level?
You're very underpaid. I had 3 YoE and was already making 30% more than you.
ETA: This is Austin, TX
@Account Director 2
Yes
You’re under paid. I am a non senior account manager with 1 year experience, no direct reports. $134k base, 20 days paid time off, expensive health insurance, no bonuses or equity.
What!? Sales?
one of my close friends works as a VP, AD at FCB health NY (and lives in NY), started end of august this year and makes 175k. Not sure how that compares to the chicago market but wanted to put it out there! Also for ref he has about 7 years experience (he climbed the ladder very fast)
Thanks for sharing!
I had a VP Account Director report Into me in Chicago on $155k - that was 3 years ago. You should Defo push for more. (This was at one of the big network agencies also for Ref).
same as you, severely underpaid, and know that new VPs make ~$155k
$175k, ~8 years agency experience, LA
11 years (creative agency), $185k, NYC
I am 15 years and $155k base in chicago- occasional bonuses. I think it’s fair, especially if you’re not jumping every two years and trying to stick it out longer at places.
