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.

Ask for $70-80, if they like you but you’re too expensive they’ll tell you

Definitely ask for help with the move.

Maybe $5K ? it shouldn’t be an expensive move. ideally a month in temp housing to let you get settled and cover the movers.

Aim for more, always

smart

I just got a new job as an AE w a salary of $65k and I have 1.5-2ish years of experience. It’s hard to find good account management talent w experience right now so aim a lot higher. The job market is great right now and you have a lot to negotiate off of (move, experience, masters degree). You can do it!!!

As the job market recovers and tech talent becomes especially sought-after, some job seekers can be at a crossroads.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.

Thoughts?
