Seeing VP pay bands retracted significantly over the past few years, topping out now around 155k. Any agencies still have VP bands in the 150-180k range or are those days gone for good? Seems like I can’t move jobs without taking a pay cut. Crazy how much things have shifted towards companies in a relatively short time.

Not me, a VP, sitting in the $110-$120 range. HAH.

I'm sorry WS1. I was a VP making this range at Porter Novelli a few years ago. Hope you find something better.

What city? That’s low.

I see open VP roles open now for the band you want. I will say, those roles now have returned to the cites for hybrid and in-person hires, not for remote people.

Yea, as a VP making $180k and trying to move speedily from my agency, I can only consider SVP roles or take a pretty drastic cut. Literally had two agencies say they’d at least match if I was the right fit and right at the end of interview rounds, they asked if I would consider a salary within their band. I’m right now only considering SVP roles which are much harder to come by.
