Just saw a post: Level Studios is looking for an ACD in the Bay Area. $140k-160k. That's gotta be low, right?

It's truly wild out there right now. Interviewed for a senior role in SF last year that tried to pass off 85 "as competitive."

The Bay Area specifically had been worse than others

Spent the last few years at a small indie shop in SF. I was making 100 as a senior while ACDs were only at 130.

Reminder salaries do not just go up. They match the market. Nothing about todays economy, or our sector suggest advertising salaries would remain steady or grow.

New job.
Moved from agency after 6yrs, into a startup (€8m Series A, high growth); first marketing hire. My manager is ex VC, seems to like managing by fear, let’s fire X, let’s cut the agency etc. sets tight deadlines & adds urgent items last minute. Others seem to feel I’m doing great but I am butting heads with him constantly about unrealistic workloads etc. Really not enjoying interacting with him, thinking about leaving... should I stick it out? I feel like I’m being abused, but need money!
