I’m currently interviewing for a senior copywriter position that has an exact equal art director position, but the AD position pay range is $20K more. Same experience requirements. Is that normal?

Could just be that two different people wrote the descriptions. As for the high end of the Ad position. Then you can bring that up if questioned

Hm I’ve always been under the impression AD salaries are slightly more than CW in many cases, but 20k seems like a lot more. Potentially the account knows the AD role is utter hell or potentially different ppl wrote the position description?? Dunno the answer, but I’d politely ask in the interview if I were in your shoes.
