I think it's better to come in with numbers you did research on. I recommend cross referencing on Repvue, Comparably, and take Glassdoor with a grain of salt. That opens the door for the conversation

I think this is much better - and yes, I wouldn't bring it up 4 months in. Wait at least 6 months and don't frame it just with salary but more of a 'I want to understand the market overall' kinda approach and path to progression

Advice on the jump from AAE to AE? I’ve been doing AE level work for months and have been told by many managers that I should be promoted but it’s in the hands of the holding co..how long do I wait?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
