I’m an ACD in NYC making 160k. 10 yr of experience. Another agency reached out to me about the same role. How much more can I ask for? No reason for me to jump if the money isn’t much better.

I topped out at 185 at ACD. If you can snag 200k hats off.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

I'm not necessarily unhappy with the firm I'm at, but have started looking into in house opportunities, as I've seen some interesting openings.
