I’m a junior CW interviewing at saatchi LA soon, have a little more than a year’s experience, ad school background and some awards. Any idea what salary range should I be asking for?

I’d imagine $70-75ish. And if you’re good enough to get more, work somewhere that isn’t Saatchi LA.

Not necessarily. In LA juniors tend to get $50-60k out of school. And if this person has a year of experience and awards, it seems reasonable.

And LA absolutely pays like a big market. I made $150k last year prior to going freelance, which is pretty competitive for a senior anywhere as far as I know.

prob 50 to 60

Damn, I made 70k as a mid...seems like I was under paid!

saatchi LA is low pay. you'll be offered $50

Curious, why would you leave NYC for saatchi la? unless it's to work on the Olympics stuff, not worth it imo. very nice ppl there but unless you're dying to get automotive in your book, I'd hold out since you have awards.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
