A week ago I would’ve said 120, but based on the offer I just received I clearly haven’t priced in covid properly

The max for a Senior creative in NYC would be $120k - $130k. Any more than that and you’re wading into ACD territory. And agencies will expect much more from you with that salary.

Typically 100-120k

$130k is if you have a really killer book. $110k is more realistic for the rest of us.

Depends what agency and city, but anywhere from $85K to $130K

It’s that much? Junior is 40-50k, right? CW/AD 55-75? Then a senior can jump to $120k?

your starting point seems way low. I started at 55k as a junior... in 2014. I think now the bands are more like junior 50-70, mid 75-100, senior 100-130+

I’m a senior CW in NYC at $100k. The 100-120 range is correct

I was at 105 when I was a senior (2018).

I have been out of work since covid and have gotten a couple offers and a few “this is the range” calls. The salary ranges are significantly lower than they were pre-covid. You really have to take that into account. I’m not sure if everyone posting has been on the job market since Covid. I would say 20% less seems to be the numbers I’ve been getting as a CD with 15 years experience big clients/ agencies and some decent awards. I would try and negotiate a review and bump in 6-12 months. That’s what I had to do when took on a new gig post covid.

I feel like CWs are always getting less than ADs. But depending on the agency, and the programs, hours and shit they are making them do, I get it. I know a lot of senior ADs hovering around the 125-135k range. All be it, good shops, but still.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
