Thoughts on salary for Account Director / Senior Account Director at big NYC agency? What do you guys think is reasonable? 150k? Lower? Higher? For context: 8 years experience and was most recently an Account Sup @ $100k.

Are you in the interview process now? It’s pretty hard to get a director job in nyc straight from supervisor, speaking from personal experience. Most big shops look for Management Sup or Assoc Director titles first. (I can think of two that don’t - Grey and Bbdo). If you can find one that doesn’t require that, you’ll probably get something around 120 at a big shop. Smaller shops pay more, like 140.

For reference, I have 10 years exp, was Man Sup for two years, and just started my first director role at one of the biggest agencies at 135.

The above ADs have the numbers right. 8-10 years, expect $120-150. 15 years expect $170-200. Though at this level, the titles start to get fuzzy. There’s SVP, VP, GAD, SAD, etc.

Hell what do I know but I think a director level anything at a big shop in NYC should be closer to 200k.

it's advertising, not wall street. 200k salaries are rare in any industry, let alone advertising.

I am really confused between these two companies, I heard WLB is very good in Mastercard, but again their salary difference is too much.
