Weighing my options if I want to accept an offer from GroupM. How likely are they to budge on the salary? It feels a bit lower than expected and I have a good amount of experience for the role.

Dont work here. I beg. But if you must, ask for more regardless. Lol

They had to get financial approval for my role because they wanted to pay less. Ultimately got what I asked but had to wait like 2 extra weeks in the process. Salary increases and at least in my agency bonuses haven’t yet happened (1.5 years here) so I’d push for the max they’ll give you.

I don’t see much of a point switching from one major holding company to another because it’s really the same thing all over again. That said, from my personal interviewing experience (I’m under WPP now) GroupM is better than OMD, but they do tend to low ball. Negotiate a higher salary, but if they don’t offer it, you’re not in a rush to leave and you’re not passionate about the team, then you won’t miss out on much by declining.

Yes def ask for more, they do have some wiggle room

Not there anymore, but can say you'll have to ask and negotiate more. It'll depend on how much they want you from experience. Make surr to read the fine print and add some good bonuses while at it, will be less work, later on.

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?

Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
