Money is not attached to an arbitrary title. It depends hugely on experience. Then adjusted again by the role, type of agency, and whether it’s an internal promotion vs a new hire.
There are kids with 4 years experience getting senior titles. And people with 10-12 years with senior titles. Make no mistake, they are not anywhere near the same salary.
In LA, 70-120.
(I’ve worked at most big LA creative agencies)

In NYC, I’d say $100k on low end... $120k as average...$150k on high end. Subtract $10-$20k from those numbers for LA and smaller agencies in either city.

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!!

Hi! I’m transitioning into video editing from healthcare and currently in an internship with a small research/strategy firm that does work for big, generally well known companies. I may be able to go full time with them soon (as an editor, not assistant). What would be a good number to open salary negotiation with? I’m making 83k in healthcare, live in DC, and in my early 30s- so I’m hoping to not get low balled like younger entry level folks with less responsibilities might.

Any suggestions on how to leverage for a leveling of my current salary and role which I have been told is in the works but I have not seen any sort of movement to give me confidence that it will happen?

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time
