I’ve been a creative for seven years and make 150k. Do with that information what you will.

Yes especially if you've performed well. I wouldn't go 2 years without asking for something, if I had to wait that long.

TRG for certain. Also have seen similar offers from VMLY&R and Cheil, and know of people at Saatchi.

45K is an insanely low number for someone who has worked for 7 years at the same company. There should be yearly reviews or something so that doesn't happen....

OP, the people have spoken. You’re worth more than this and deserve more. Time to update that portfolio and job hunt!

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before.
