So what’s the deal with OT for juniors in NYC? Did they raise the threshold again? I know only the big holding companies do it

It’s not voluntarily done by the agencies. When I was a junior I never got overtime. Nobody did.

It has nothing to do with juniors, it just happens to affect mostly juniors. It’s a new labor law, signed by Obama in mid-2016 and took effect in December 2016 just before Trump started.

The new law made it mandatory that anyone that made $47K or under must receive overtime pay, including salaried workers. Before that law was signed, the threshold was $23K which was so low, nobody on salary got overtime. Wish I had that law back when I was a junior pulling 80-90 hour weeks. Glad they finally did the right thing and made it a law. It should be higher than $47K to be honest.

If an agency is not paying out overtime for someone making under $47K, it’s illegal and they should be reported.

Yep you are right. The new thresholds are different per county, looks wildly different all over the state. The $58K threshold in the 5 boroughs will kick in this year. The threshold changes depending on the business size. https://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/news/2019/04/09/what-the-dol-s-proposed-new-salary-thresholds-mean.html

It varies company to company. I’m under IPG and they do it based on title - in creative, it’s only
Juniors, regardless of salary.

Yup! Regardless of base the junior title still qualifies.

Hi team, I have officially been promoted to Senior Recruiter, however they only gave me a $5k bump from $72k to 79k. That’s basically below the median standard 10% raise bracket. Being one of the highest performers and trainers, I feel as though maybe I should at least receive $85k at minimum. However, the terms “budget” and “company profits” being beneath forecast are the biggest reasons that I am not receiving a high salary. I understand times can be tough, but any advice to negotiate?

Do PE companies know that many CDD partners would make their team’s life miserable if the story is not positive because they think investment teams won’t work with them as often if they raise red flags? All T2 firms do it, many MBB partners do it too.

Im due for a promotion to VP and I’ve been told it’s coming. I am a top performer, it is overdue, and my org has done nothing to adjust for inflation. Since promotions represent the one opportunity to accelerate comp outside of changing jobs is it reasonable to negotiate on the details? In the past it’s always been “you’re lucky to get this” sold as a gift - but IMO they have a lot of ground to make up for and I’m curious how I’d counter a lowball offer. Am I crazy? Anyone ever done this?
