It’s a big range at that level.

125 - 170 give or take. Around 150 feels like the current sweet spot for an experienced Director.

I’m making 135

Network or indie? YOE?

155-205 is the range at that level in Toronto currently, based on a salary study my previous place conducted. The higher side tends to be at network agencies on large integrated client work.

If you have 10-12 years experience and you’re still only a senior strategist…maybe it’s not for you

Thanks for your concern - I’m a strategy director already (hence the word ‘existing’), just want to know the range these days.

Where to start. Sitting here contemplating life after a sixer and wondering why I keep getting to this place. I make my family scared of me and push my wife and kids farther away while I think everything is ok.I can stop drinking when I need to focus on work, but when things get out of control I just drink it away. Tired of this cycle but unsure where to turn, but I know if I continue down this path it won’t be good. I am a vet and think I have PTSD, but turn to the bottle when needed
