Is it true that you make less client side than at an agency? I’m an SVP and making $175k and find I’m completely overworked on 6-7 accounts at a time & staffing bandwidth is consistently stretched.

Who on earth told you that you make less client side. Absolutely untrue

You’ll typically make more client side, especially with bonus and stock, if it’s a publicly traded co.

My base salary was almost parallel - I think I got 8k more. However I get a large bonus, so that pushes it over. Plus having a life again is priceless. Knowing what I know now, I would have taken a pay cut to go in house.

I agree with Manager 1, the trade off for life balance on client side has outweighed my salary cut. Also way more perks like bonuses, travel and being able to actually call the shots.

Well I’m currently interviewing client side roles and so far it’s been less money. To be fair, it’s not apples to apples. I’m an account director and looking at Manager roles at the large CPG companies. They’re talking about 5k less than what I’m asking

Congrats to you lol. Chicago

Typically make more on the client side from salary alone, not to mention bonus eligibility and stock options. Plus, more vacation time which affords you greater peace of mind.

I’ve had clients across LVMH, Facebook and Google who have significantly more vacation time than any agency. Nice to know Edelman’s leading the charge within agencies though.

I would say it also depends on the sectors that you are handling. More specialized fields lead to higher pay but less options for in house opportunities

B2b always pays more, b2c less, but that's in tech. Not sure about other industries. Plus the options and bonus can be great. With all the VC money I'm the valley in tech, even startups pay well, bit higher risk as to whether you'll have a company to work at in 2 years.

None of those growth stocks going back to ATH anytime soon. Maybe in a few years some stocks with good resistance will bounce back to ATH.

Forget about your existing losses, and stop DCAing blindly. Do more research and find which stocks have strong balance sheet and strong future to be back over next few years.
Only pick selected few or blue chips for dca.

Easier would be to invest in index. Would still get solid returns.

Been in PR & w/ the same company now for 8 years, and every day I fantasize about submitting my resignation. Definitely think the pandemic has made it more clear how burnt out I am and how much I despise my job & the people I work with. However, not sure what my next move should be & also feel I don’t have the head space to really think about it while staying at my current job. Has anyone quit their job & taken time off to sort their next move? If so, was it career suicide or the best decision?

Always worked on very big brands. How likely am I to land a lateral/higher role in PR, if I’ve never worked in PR per se? I’m looking at ~$130k salary.

How do you deal when you know you’re just so burnt out? I feel it— everything is magnified, home life feels more chaotic. I’m looking for jobs. Getting nowhere and lots of automated rejection notes. Work demands are never ending. We have staff, not the right staff, so a lot of work falls to me. I never get to turn off. It’s wearing. I’ve been trying “take care of myself” going to yoga, getting a drink with a friend, but the demands leave me feeling like I never get to be idle.
