If those lions are recent (within the last 4 years) and you've had that title for four years AND you're from a decent agency, yes you should go! You are selling yourself short!

Time for a well earned raise. Ask. Worst is they say no and you shop for a new agency.

Yup.

Congratulations on the lions. Now go double that salary! Get a good recruiter and you will be fine.

Depends on the city. 5 years ago I was at senior level making 90k and I didn't have any of those awards.

Yes I got them this year. I have been here for a year and a few months and can hardly afford my rent. How do I approach asking for more money considering I asked for that salary when I had visa issues when I joined?

Absolutely getting screwed. I make 50% more than that as a very high mid-level PM (basically senior without the title, but the pay would also be higher for that title).

Yes

That's what I made in my first ad job (associate strat). I would jump.

Yes.

Yes

And s/he asked for that salary. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Wait, you've been there a year or 4 years? And you personally worked on a campaign that earned a lion? What brand?

Yes.

You're getting taken for a joke. Move now.
