Is 140k good for an associate director role in planning, NYC market? 5 yoe. Currently making 100 which I know is low so I want to make sure I hold out for the right increase. Recruiter is telling me 140 is the top of their pay band but is that just bs?

$140K is top of the AD band at OMG - for 5 YOE that’s especially good, considering 5 YOE is incredibly low for an AD.

I've seen many JDs ask for 5+ at huge agencies, some I've seen go up to 7/8yoe as you said but I've seen many instances of big hold cos to hire as young as 4yoe. I say this as someone who's been part of the interviewing process for the AD level. If compensation matches market rate for the title, is it actually title inflation though? Genuinely curious. Definitely title inflation within the agency model, but big agencies I've seen have all followed the same general org structure of associate, Sr associate, manager, AD, director etc.

Confirming it is top of AD band in OMG and GroupM…. Unless you’re data science (SQL, python, r, modeling). That can get you perhaps 10 to 15k more.

That seems fair as Director levels are around starting 150k+ or 175k+ depending on the agency and in current market conditions

Analytics director, it's under IPG

agreed! 140 is top of both GroupM & OMGs band - congrats :)

I need some advice! Currently in the process of getting a new job but have no idea what to ask for or what I should be making. My new potential role is Account Supervisor at a pharma agency, is asking for $95k reasonable? I’m currently a senior account manager with 6 years experience but worked abroad for my entire career so I have no idea what I should be making. I don’t have pharma experience but this agency is still interested in me so I’m wondering if what I’m asking for is too high?
