Agencies have good work but crappy pay 😕

Agency work is more fun but much more stressful, and in-house is much calmer but monotonous. My work is in-house, and I take on a lot of freelance work and have the occasional personal project, so I keep a balance.

I’m at a point where I’d rather do in-house. The chaos is too much daily wear and tear physically, emotionally etc. I’d rather do my job in 40hrs and as uncomplicated as possible.

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
