Is 54K (no OT) fine for the junior ad role as a salary? it’s pretty decent shop but seems like there’s no room to negotiate :/

Seems pretty standard. You shouldn’t expect overtime if you’re employed on salary in this industry. The hours can be long but are also very flexible.

I started at a $45k, no OT, in NYC, at a big agency. Seems pretty good to me.

Nah get that OT even if you need to take a cut, I’d ask 50-52k. I started at 52k with OT and ended up making 80k before taxes. Actually lost money when I got promoted. Large shop nyc.

They didn’t give me any flexibility so I already signed 🤦‍♂️ but thanks

New York law is anything under $58,500 is eligible for OT. We have all of our juniors raised in order to meet that threshold. As others have commented, you will make a lot in OT so it’s in the agency’s interest to not give OT. But your offer means legally you’re eligible. HR should be aware of that because they’re messing up.

@CW1 I think I should. Thanks so much!

Is it a Jr AD title? Or AD? Jr AD in NYS is supposed to be OT eligible. Also, what CCO says above re: the rate.

@AD1 Thanks a bunch!

It's doable. I started at 52 + OT tho.
Zero negotiation here too.

Yes.

I honestly wonder if you can have it looked into later. Who knows, they may end up owing you extra backpay. Congrats on the job though

A bit low w/o OT.

Anyone go from SaaS / licensing sales to services (strategy & implementation) sales?

I'm thinking of moving from large cap tech to large cap consultancy firm to help build the resume and round out my experience. I enjoy and do well in licensing, but I'm fairly young in my career (<6 years) and received a great offer to make the move.

Big fan of the org and team I'll be joining as well.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city.
