Recruiter just reached out about an ACD role. Most they want to pay is $165K. I made that as a GCS— in 2009! What the H is going on with salaries? Who is setting these rates? Who is agreeing to them?!

I didn’t even ask who the agency was. I said “please, let’s not waste each other’s time, tell me the money...” and the recruiter did (nice guy!).

Agencies are. It’s why they now hire mid and senior creatives for ACD and CD roles and why clients don’t trust agencies anymore.

Legitimate ACDs and CDs want to be paid what they’re worth. Illegitimate ones are so happy to take a meager salary bump and title that they jump at the chance. Of course it ends badly b/c these people have zero idea what they’re doing. But as long as it’s cheaper for the agencies, the agencies don’t care

I was offered the same at Grey (not ghg). The range between agencies is crazy at the moment...

I’ve had 2 phone interviews at 2 different agencies, offering a VP/CD position $175k. And that’s where those conversations ended.

Wow. These were real agencies?

Wait, is 165k for ACD low? That seems like a good salary range to me. If senior is 115ish, I'd say that's pretty damn good, no?

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
