I’m an ACD in NY making $160k. I’m now considering a role at a big Chicago agency. What’s an appropriate salary? I assume it’ll be less, since it’s a lower cost of living. Thanks.

I think 160 is actually low for New York so might be able to stay pretty close to that.

I made 70k as an art director there a couple years ago if that adds context. That being said, Chicago is VERY cheap and comfortable to live in comparatively (currently in NYC now) You can stay in a brand new 1bdm, full amenities building for under 2k. In Logan square street parking is abundant, so owning a car is an actual possibility.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
