I got promoted to a senior art director at my job and couldn't be more excited. We are having a call later today about what my raise is going to be. I am curious what the rate for a senior AD would be with 6.5 years of experience? I currently make $65,000 before promotion.

Just prepare to be underwhelmed. Only way to make the amount of money you deserve at this new title is by jumping ship to another agency, unfortunately.

👆Ditto, unfortunately.

Internal agency promotions will usually only give you an extra $5-10k, unless you have enough reason to push back and/or have another offer.

I was making $105k as a senior AD in Chicago.

I’m a senior creative and I make 100. But I have awards and big PR campaigns in my book

should be hitting 6 figs but i know many ranges start at like 80k :/

Damn. I just had a comp conversation with one of my Sr. ADs and she’s making $175k. Go in house, people

Where do you work and uhhh are you hiring?

115k

They are going to come at you with a max increase of 5-10% against your current salary. Be ready to justify and ask for a 20% raise. I think it’s going to feel underwhelming and difficult for you to get what you deserve. But now you have the title; so if you want 6-figures you’ll have to jump ship.

You could ask for 20%, and if they meet you at 15%, you could ask for more PTO?
