I've been working at one of the six big holding companies' agencies for about a year and a half and while I love my team, but I need more money.

I'm interested in going client side but I'm not sure what kind of roles to look for that would make my match my experience. I'm currently a Senior associate in digital activation with a master's degree in advertising. This is my first advertising job since obtaining my degree.

Any advice on the types of roles I should look for?

Client side roles are EXTREMELY hard to get. For context, I’ve been on the agency side for 7 years and still have trouble landing a client facing role.

The thing is they claim i only have experience of 7 years and offering me less than what I make now. I wanna go, but any suggestions on this negotiation cause I would still need to pay for a place to live and expenses.
