My first creative directing job was in LA. I got it just two years out of college and I was making $150k this was in 2018. I was so excited about it then but when I look back I feel like I was underpaid.
How and why would you feel underpaid ⁉️⁉️🤔🙄🤯

I think it was 135-140. I was brand side then though. So the benefits were insane and my yearly performance bonus was targeted at 60% salary. Based on our recruitment now, 135 is median. I would try not to bring anyone in for less than that.

Yeah, took me almost 9 years to get to that point but it was really nice.
Could we add the number you had before CD? Would be interesting to see the jump 🚶
Mine was just under 10%. Pretty underwhelming.
