Looking to make the jump from Account Exec to Senior Account Exec. Moving from Chicago to Milwaukee. Interviewing for an agency role. Long-term goal is in-house in 2-3 years. Currently making $55k. What’s a realistic increase? Should I ask between $62-68k? I’ve been told by an Account Director that some agencies are doing sign-on bonuses, too and should even ask higher. Your thoughts? BG info: 5 years experience in advertising and PR mix with background in digital marketing. Masters degree, too.

That’s too low. Go higher in the 70-80k range.

I did the same move a couple years ago...no regrets!
The salary ranges in MKE are lower than Chicago...just like cost of living. Keep that in mind 😉

Shoot for the moon...keep your salary expectations in check. 😉
