Looking at a potential move from Sr. Dir. at an ipg agency to VP at another big 5 agency out of Chicago. (The other agency has sr director too so vp is a step up comparably across both). I have 15+ years experience and a strong pitch win record.

Currently making 200k in my role - with a switch to VP what range might I be looking at? Will I be lucky to break even? Or is there possibility for an additional 10-20?

No idea, but I recommend pushing for as much money as possible upfront especially if the role is at an Omnicom agency. I regret not asking for more when I was hired as there’s no cost of living increases and raises/promotions have been on hold for a year.

Hello fishes.
I'm a fresher and I recently joined one of the big4 as a senior analyst.
I am given sap as my competency, but honestly I'm not finding it interesting. I was hoping to shift to data analytics(python, sql, etl, powerbi, advanced excel... Working with these techs).
I have knowledge in python and sql. I also have some development skills, reactjs and stuff(not relevant to data analytics).
Should I increase my skill set before starting to apply to other firms?

All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
