It’s not terrible as a first job. Just be sure to get ~$60K when you become an AE. That’ll likely require switching companies since internal promotions usually involve dogshit raises, whereas another company will buy talent at a premium. This is true throughout the ad agency career ladder btw.

I think COL matters a bit. If you're in HCOL like NY I think you may be underpaid. But overall that starting salary is equivalent to teacher pay which is still on the lower end and they have most likely have more days off than you

How many clients are you expected to manage on that salary?

That’s a good salary considering you will be handling less than 100 and the sales are manageable unless the products are super tiny.

In what state if you don’t mind me asking

It’s not too bad. I’m in the capital city so rent is a bit high for what it is

PPG is a career not a job.

Depends on your age and the number of years in that industry. My first account manager job was 2007, $67k. But… I had 15 years of experience in that industry (just doing a different job)
