Salary Q: New to Fishbowl + creative/ad agencies and would love any insights from y'all.

I recently got an offer for a producer role that I believe was too low b/c it involves working with devs, dev work myself, and has the combined responsibility of project management and production.

In search, "producer" yields much different results ($$ wise) from "project manager", and from "technical" + "producer/project manager"

Any advice on how I should proceed in navigating negotiations?

Try looking for an integrated digital producer salary. Doing dev work yourself seems like a red flag that you will be responsible for more than 1 role and likely to be overworked. I hope it works out!
