Would love to hear how you made the transition! I'm looking to move from advertising strat to tech

To answer your question, according to Glassdoor, google seems to pay pretty well when you look at total comp for your position--base pay mean is $86k (66-101 range) with bonus average at $100k (incl cash and stock).

Yikes content strategists plateau after a while where’s writers that can break through to CD level will get to be more creative and make more in the long run.

I’d feel comfortable coming in at 150k. If I’d known what salary bands were before coming to a big tech company, I would have asked for way more than I’m receiving. Take into consideration what some interns at Google and FB can bring in (60-80k). Granted, they might be engineers, but your experience should provide you leverage. I think MBA grads at IBM can start off at $140k, so don’t sell your self short.

According to Glassdoor. Yearly Cash bonus average is $40k, stock bonus average is $60k. All comes down to if you trust the integrity of their data, but that's what is reported

Are you new to the Bay Area?

Question/confirming: would you say the difference between a content strategist and a Copywriter is the CS researches the site messaging (related to others in the category and based on target's online behaviors...what it needs to communicate and how it should be bucketed/organized) and a Copywriter does the concepting and wordsmithing?

What does a content Strategist charge hourly vs a CD writer?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
