$45k to also teach you that they don’t care about you, you are churn and burn to them. They also won’t teach and train you like you deserve. And your clients won’t value you - yet - cause they won’t be exposed to you and you won’t learn their business. But be expected to do it across several accounts, different verticals, different audiences, different needs. It’s a broke, unfair system for both you and the clients your service. But the holding companies and the c-levels really don’t mind do they.

I started in media 5 years ago and made more than what my associates make. It’s completely inappropriate and not competitive. When local shops pay more to work on small business accounts you know something is off.
