190 is more than fair... but you may not get that. 190/ 200 at the moment is about right for a first year CD.

Hiring is hot for certain roles. I don’t see ACD and CD openings as “hot”... at least not at the good ad agencies. You have too many creatives trying to get in and not enough spots. If you wanna go client side or in-house, sure there’s lots more openings and $ to go around.

Um, yes. Ogilvy doesn’t pay that, and especially not to women.

I make 180 as a CD in NYC( but i have a few less years experience than most CDs) ....190 is gunna be a lot for an ACD if they aren’t hiring you as a CD.

How many years of experience?

Yes

Very

I would expect 200 for CD so that seems very good.

Yeah that’s good

That’s crazy good.

What's the ACD average in NYC, ACD Art?

Some of them are CDs now, but yes, we’re all pretty open about our salaries with each other.

Yes congrats, squirrell it away

I havent gotten an offer yet, just trying to figure out what to ask for when you’re in that weird grey area between acd and cd

Seems good for ACD. FYI top level CDs on the client side are making $400k base, then they usually have 25-50% bonus on top of that. I used to work in a data role at Deloitte and gained exposure to compensation plans at a variety of media companies.

Creative director means VERY different things at different places. Be aware of that.

Im at the top of the salary band for my company at 175k, but negotiated for more pto.

This doesn't answer your question directly but is a related consideration - a lot of agencies (especially ones in holding companies) have a rule that above 200k /year you're only eligible for a raise every 2 years, sometimes more. Just something to keep in mind.

So I had a call with a with a recruiter two weeks ago and she asked for my salary range and I told her $120k-$150k she said she would submit me me at $140-$150 well the role was put on hold due to an acquisition. She has referred me for another role and we had the preliminary discussion but salary wasn’t mentioned should I assume that it’s the same salary range or should I inquire and is so how should I frame my inquiry?

Looking for some advice on how to handle this situation… My boyfriend of 10+ months is divorced (6 years total) with 3 kids. He has a very amicable relationship with his ex. Two of his 3 kids have birthdays 5 days apart coming up next month. In lieu of a party, they asked for a weekend at a hotel/indoor water park. They have done this in the past. However, he asked how I felt about him sharing a room with his ex and kids, with separate beds. Continued…

My district has finally gone 1-to-1. Is there a good app or website that I could use to have students submit answers anonymously while going over problems in class? I did this last week using Kahoot to go over a state testing review packet. It was great because I could see how many got the right answer and move on if no one missed the question. However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
