Don’t know how many good in-house teams there are in ny, but Spotify is absolutely paying it’s good (non CD) creatives $140+, plus deferred comp

$100 yes. $200. no.

@ACD1 that’s a dream spot, for sure. I’m not sure I’d get in without agency experience, though. I’ve got about 5 years experience in-house. No portfolio school, just classes at SVA. I’m told i have a decent portfolio and I’ve been dying of get into an agency.. but the clock is ticking.

If you want to be on some $200k career trajectory, you’re better off going west and taking an in-house role at a tech company.

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
