Thought it'd be interesting to get a real read on where everyone's at. I'll go first: Creative Director, LA, 8 years in the industry, sitting at $175k base. No bonus to speak of. Feels like I've hit a ceiling and not sure if it's me or the market. Where are you landing and do you feel like you're being paid what you're worth?

Seems low for a CD but 8 years also seems like a pretty quick trip up the ladder

Smaller firm!

Sr copy, east coast 5 years, $120k base plus bonus

No bonus?! That’s sad. Sounds like the offerings from a boutique shop
