Recruiters: curious if any of you could help with salary guidance. I’m interviewing for new business director roles at mid-size independent agencies and could use some help with salary range/bonus structure that’s appropriate for these roles. Appreciate the help!

New biz Director? That can honestly be anywhere on the scale. $150 base plus commission structure is probably good state for director level. But if you have a legit quantifiable new biz record that base can double. I have seen $400k base (once).

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
