@edelman1 — if you’re an art director (not a graphic designer) than what you’re earning is a high junior salary. Mid level AD is $60 - $80K. That place is a true shitshow and Jimmy is an industry joke. Try to get out of there

@OP, salary trajectory was a little weird for me because as a designer I worked on a lot of heavy tech UI and UX so the role was a little different from the role of most agency designers. I was at 85 at my last designer job, went to 90 plus bonus, now 95 plus bonus.

I still feel like I'm underpayed - I could've (should've) asked for more, although I still got more than what I asked for. Know your worth. P.S. it's a lot.

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..
