From £150k, but probably a lot more in the big places. I can easily imagine 200-250k if not more.

These estimates mentioned are very low.
Depends on level of experience.

£250,000 would be the minimum at a network agency in London.
If they’re a career-CSO (there’s a few) and they’ve had 2-3 CSO jobs, then I reckon around £300,000. Plus benefits, expenses and a bonus.

A 2017 salary survey by Campaign showed that CSO salaries varied from £180,000-£250,000. This has increased since then.

Do bear in mind there’s bigger money to be made.

In holding companies, you’ll have Global Strategy Leads for tentpole clients and obviously regional + global CSOs who make more than what I’ve quoted.

Strategy Directors in London seem to make anywhere from £80k-£110k.

Should I move to another firm and take the higher pay (20% more) and do more work I’d enjoy doing and have better growth and long term career potential, while sacrificing my current title (would have to step down from associate to analyst), WLB, and team chemistry?

Hi Fishes,

I got email from LTI "Thank you for applying to LTIMindtree and going through our complete selection process" on 27 Sept but after 1 week I follow up on offer letter she said my approval got rejected due high expectation (35% hike ). We re-negotiate at 6 Sept (30% hike). Now they will release offer letter or not ?
