Salary check - Does $140k for a Senior Creative (been senior for about 1.5yrs) sound reasonable or low? Moving from overseas so could use local guidance.

In the hiring process there was back and forth about whether the title would be ACD or Senior. I'm fine with Senior as a title as ACD would have been a bit premature in my opinion but wonder if them considering me at that level means this should be higher.

It’s good tbh for senior

OK for a senior. For an ACD it is too low.

I’m making $140 as a senior in nyc. I’m sure there are seniors making higher salaries but doubt a ton higher.

ACD would be 175ish

It depends on the agency! As someone who switched from the big names into a niche boutique agency that seems valid due to their budgets. But if it’s the well known places — ask for more

Yeah if that’s the salary they’re giving you, push back against the ACD title.

Are they paying your visa and relocation from Australia? Saw your post in another bowl. If so, this sounds like a generous deal for a good opportunity. Especially in this market.

Very good
