I was recently told by a recruiter that this brand team Director role at Amex was in the $150-170k range. NY-based and mandatory hybrid, 2 days in-office. Salary seems low for that. Any insights?

NYC based? Or burbs? If Manhattan, that seems low.

It’s low. The average apartment in New York is 5 grand a month. An in-house brand director deserves to qualify for it. $170K would not qualify.

I turned down an offer from AmEx in the fall because the salary was not competitive - their comp doesn’t come close to other finance firms in the city (I am NYC-based as well)

Is that TC? Or just base? If TC, it seems low for NYC.

Base only. Seems low for even what I’m currently making as a Director (not NYC)

Super low. There are companies who pay the same for Brand Manager positions, not for director level.

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue.

I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?

Hello! I just came across an Art Director position with ServiceNow that I think I’d be a great fit for. Is there anyone willing to provide a referral for this position? I’m willing to answer any questions and provide any information!

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
