Just curious, what’s a reasonable salary for a Senior Art Director? And what should I be asking for a ACD level? The Agency is based in NYC.

ACD - 115k - 165k (big range, I know)

Pharma
Sr AD - 90k - 125k
ACD - 130k - 200k (oncology on the higher end)

I think 120-140k is reasonable even at a non-pharma place. NYC is expensive

That’s a backward question. Instead, I’d try asking myself what value am I bringing to their team and what leverage would that bring to their clients?

You can have two ACDs. They both have the same skills, same years of experience, but one gets 1.5x or 2x more than the other. Why? It’s all about the value they bring.

The salary anchor is a good start but don’t forget to negotiate the shit out of it before you accept. Otherwise, you’re leaving money on the table.

Good luck!

Totally agree!

155- senior
175 ACD

This is funny.

smart

Yeah what are these numbers...

90-120 senior, 120-165 acd, 155-250 cd

Thanks! What about in-house brands? Like Google, Facebook, Spotify, etc

150-200k depending on skills and background. we don’t have “senior” titles.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
