Hmmm, 5 years experience should be that range. If you want to send me your book, I'll give you an honest assessment.

I’d say an AD with 2.5 years in their current role would be looking at 75-85k. You’ll never get that through a staffing firm because they have to take their cut, which is why it’s always better to do your own job search. The 90-100k range is what you can look for when you reach Sr AD

And also when I’m am contacted by creative group Circe or any other of those recruitment agencies. I have a general idea but I’ve heard so many different things I wanted to ask one last time to get a clearer picture. Thank you in advanced.

Depends on where you live and what agency. larger shops you can ask for more. Pharma pays really well. smaller boutique shops expect less.

Going to be in LA

I feel like people would loose their shit if I asked for that. Especially The staffing agencies. Of course I would love to be getting paid that.

LA is super dry right now.
