The RGD puts out a salary survey most years with averages, I think the last one is from 2014. As a mid-senior AD I'm getting ripped off at $60k - I wanted $70-75. I think on the lower end an ACD would get at least $90k? Are you asking 'cause you want a raise but don't feel it's justified without a promotion? That somebody at a senior level doesn't deserve to make over a certain amount?

I'm mid level AD and at 86k including 5% bonus

Glassdoor 😇

Sr AD, 90k at a big agency. Come review time I want ACD + 15k or I will be leaving.

@AD2 where are you with 26k more than me for I assume the same experience? I need a better paying job. :P

I should add I'm at a digital agency, with more of a design background. About 6yrs experience

I'm also 6 years in with a design background and lots of digital experience (I fucking code too!), but at a huge ad agency. The more time goes by the more I realize how fucked over I am. 😫

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?

Suggestions?
