Titles used to be deflated at WK. It means, a CD elsewhere becomes a senior creative at WK and so on. Though you tend to be a better paid senior creative than in other shops. Remember that BBH CCO who became just a CD. He’s a better paid CD than others.

These days they’re more desperate for talents so they seldom deflate that much. There are some CDs not worthy of a WK CD lurking in the house right now. That explains those meh quality coming out of WK lately.

How much do they lowball you? It depends if they like you enough and how desperate they are at the moment. They know there are countless people willing to sell their souls lined up all the way towards the horizon, so it depends on how much you’ve charmed them with your personality.

They’re not lowballing a lot anymore because they’ve really struggled to attract top talent in the last couple of years.

Right now as a candidate I’d be asking for what you’d ask anywhere else.
