I’m an account manager in NYC making $85k with decent benefits. Is that good for the area, or am I underpaid? I have a few years of experience, but it feels like I could be doing better. Curious what other AMs in NYC think.

Fellow NYC-er here. We are definitely underpaid but that unfortunately sounds about right.

Sounds about right

Just switched jobs and went from 80k base to 100k base. I feel like 90k-100k is where account managers in NYC should be, so you’re not too far off.

Yeah. It’s in the upper quartile for the title. Assuming you are at a creative agency. May be lower end if at a more specialized shop.

Any references for remote work Account Management will be appreciated

That’s on par for what I made as an SAE

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help
