If I'm on track to get a bump from Senior to ACD (promoted internally, not going to a new spot) how much of a pay bump can I reasonably expect, if I'm starting at 85K?

It’s not the amount of the bump that is (supposed to be) standardized, it’s the new salary. Associate Director in chicago should be 100-120. If you are not near the extremes of the salary band below that, this should usually be a 10-20% raise.

ACD in Chocago should be at least a 30k bump.

Can you speak to the pay bump from mid to senior?

If you work for a holding company, good luck getting up to market rate.

Is 30K a reasonable bump from Sr. to Associate Director in any position or just creative? Asking as a non-creative to anyone who happens to see this.
