I'm in L.A., and when I was a Sr. Strategist between 2007 - 2013 my salaries ranged between $85k - $128k.

$75k - $80k

cost of living is not much cheaper here. and you almost have to have a car so...

My bad. I read you title and missed the Sr. Part. What SapientR 1 said is accurate

Yeah lemme echo Spark, with the car and the gas it’s not THAT much cheaper. I’d try and not take a hit at all.

Gotcha, thanks for the advice all! Haven’t entered into any talks with recruiters but figured it’d be better to be prepared if it gets brought it

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

If I was told that upper management was really interested in interviewing and that they would be reaching out soon - when should I reach out? They told me Monday morning and I haven’t heard back since

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

I had two recruiters today reschedule a meeting. And this is the second time rescheduling. Honesty, not sure what value recruiters bring. Is this common now? Is it hard to have respect for people’s time and their schedule? Reschedule once I can understand. But twice is just stupidity. I hope AI wipes out all bad recruiters who don’t give af. Sorry for the vent. Maybe it’s just my bad luck then.

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.
