I'm looking for salaries for Group Creative Directors / Senior Creative Directors at smaller, boutique advertising agencies in NYC. Trying to get an accurate range because the big agencies that post on Glassdoor (Ogilvy, RGA etc.) aren't totally fair comparisons. For context, my agency does have a lot of big name tech clients.

$250-350k

Big range in the roles listed. I’ve seen CDs around $200-250k, and seen GCDs in a huge range. As low as $225k, as high as $375k. All depends on agency, size of the client, size of the team, etc.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-

For new product-

I’m a Canadian citizen but I never lived in Canada.
Currently in 🇨🇭 and planning to move to Canada for the experience. However it seems that the salaries are super low compared to the US or Switzerland. Is that because of the high taxes? Does $82k in Vancouver/Calgary allows you to live decently or am I gonna struggle? Current TC USD92k (CHF83k) and it would take a big hit by moving to Canada. But at the same time 🇨🇭 is one of the most expensive countries in the world.
