I moved from creative to account thinking it would be more stable and better paid. It’s more stable, but I’m not convinced it’s better paid.
Has anyone seen meaningful comp differences between functions at agencies?

In a typical ad agency creative will pay significantly more than account at most levels.

The stability trade-off is real, but the pay story is more complicated than creative vs. account.
At most agencies, account tops out faster and lower. Senior creatives — ACDs, ECDs — can dramatically out-earn account counterparts at the same level, especially at shops where creative is the product. Account's ceiling is capped unless you're moving into leadership or revenue-responsible roles like Managing Director.
The exception: if you're on the business side managing $10M+ accounts, the comp starts reflecting that. But mid-level account management? You likely traded creative upside for a steadier floor.
The real money at agencies — regardless of function — is in moving in-house. Brand-side account and project management roles routinely pay 20-30% more for less chaos.
What level are you at — and agency size? That changes the math significantly.

Do bank managers/loan officers at local branches have any sway in approving loans? I live in a small Midwest town would it be better to go to my local bank and see if people I know there can get a better rate etc on an auto loan?

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
