Good move. Ask for lateral or minor salary increase, but your cost of living will be dramatically reduced. Look into Cramer-Krasselt, FCB, Ogilvy, Burnett (except for no awards),

you won't need a huge raise (or really any) to feel like you are making significantly more money. I agree with that list and would add Performics if you're in digital.

Chicago handles the snow a lot better than NY.

Thank you!!

Depending on who you work for in NY, it might be a stretch to get any kind of a bump. Like others have said, cost of living will give you one though.

Following - considering making the same move myself. Those winters though 😖

the winters aren't that much worse than NY - a little colder but less snow than NY.

I was considering Boston, but I have family in Chicago. Would be nice to live close to my brother!

February is the worst month. Buy a really good jacket and you shall survive. Also Performics is a great place to work in Chi.

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
