@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.
