You’re an art director making $140,000 a year? What the hell city do you live in? That’s creative director salary here

Yep. You’re right. Oops!

Prepare to go as low as $95 if things get tight and it’s a long engagement. Sometimes 95-100/hr is still $200k gross average over a year (at least math wise). And 2 digits might get you in ahead of the 3-digit folks. Just be thankful you’re not on $7.50/hr.

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement!

Due to obvious conditions my comp for the calendar year (salary+bonus) is back to 2017 levels although my overall sales are more than double and 1/3 less total comp than last year. It seems like comp opportunity is always decreasing during good times (I get it) but when it comes to adjusting during bad times, nothing was done. Is this normal for industry sales?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
