I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

Wait until you’ve delivered a lot more value than your original salary reflects. Do the job, then ask for the salary correction. This could work well as part of a promotion convo down the line.

Hahaha. Plenty of life outside of it and too little to do at work lately. I leave by five most days and sometimes early. Plus, it’s tough to have a life when I can’t pay for it!

CD nailed it—spreading you to other accounts is already a key indicator that you’re doing a good job. Just keep track of your accomplishments and make sure they’re recorded in your official reviews, if you’re in an agency environment that has that kind of structure.

I would check your expectations though—your attitude in this post makes it seem like one of those “not my job” creatives, which nobody (between account services, pm and fellow creatives) likes. Scopes change on a dime. Be a hand raiser, not someone who stomps their feet because they “were hired to work on just one account.”

Anyone has climbed the ranks quickly will tell you about patches where they were over booked. It’s the way you handle those patches that will make people want to elevate you and get you paid.

And to think I didn’t even read the above thread before that other reply about “being bored at work” yet wanting more money. Yikes dude. Get a grip.

The work I do is pretty boring, yes, and lately I’ve had more internet surf time. This isn’t the norm though, and I know Jan will bring long days with the type of work I’m doing. No need to be so abrasive when you don’t know the full context. We are here to help each other.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

I’ve been getting recruiter messages offering salaries up to 120k for copy/senior copy roles (which surprised me) so I gave 110-120 as a range on the call. She hesitantly said she thought 115 would be OK. But wondering if the salary could be the issue? Thought?
