This is general and people will reply with exceptions but here’s the general rule:
Jr: 45-50k
Cw/ad 55-70
Senior (whatever that is at each agency some don’t have this title) 70-85k
Acd 90--150k (pending on if you run accounts or or just a glorified copy writer or director)
Cd 150-195
GCD 195-275
Ecd 275-350
Cco 350+ often much much higher (Havas paid 900 to CCO a decade ago)

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down.

Sad to see

Okay soooo I have an adult 8 year old Maltese. I have tried everything from Farmers dog to Caesar. Mixing wet and dry...putting toppers on. I kinda got him to eat out of my hand. But I have to put bland chicken on top just to get him to come near it. I have tried the leave food down for 20 minutes then pick it up....he just won't eat. I'm gonna try Pet Plate subscription to see if that works. Hopefully it does.
