Hey person, life in LA is going to be tougher than europe. Especially for two people living under one single paycheck. That gets even harder if you have kids. Unless it’s to work on Apple at MAL I’d say don’t come as a senior. Also, you sound like you could come as an ACD? Anyways, 120 - 140 is not very much for LA. Rent here is absurd. You will need to buy car. Grocery is expensive. Etc. etc. I hope it helps.

Thanks so much! I don’t know yet, I’m thinking between LA and NY, but it is hard to find a nice agency with a good salary. I don’t mind to be a senior or ACD. How much do you make? Thanks again!

120 - 140 ? Have you been on that role for a while?

9 years in the business and from 2015 as a Senior. Cannes and few other international awards. Judge in a few awards too. Worked in 3 different countries for international agencies. Do you think I could ask for 120/140? Thanks so much. Europe is so different than US.
