Well, It’s Come To This. I’ve been freelancing through the worst period for advertising contractors in 20 years, and an agency finally wants to talk to me about a ft opportunity. The kicker is that it’s for an ACD position at a very low salary. With the economy like is is for creatives + my “ancient”’status in advertising, I wonder what they’ll think when they see me on the other side of the screen. I’ll speak to them, but I feel like as soon as I say yes (if they offer) FL will explode.

Since my last agency job, I did a lot of contracting in-house, until one job became a FT offer. It’s less money, but I adjusted. I also like the people and the work, and I’ve been here for 5 years. I reached a point where I need to adapt. I wasn’t always UX either. I’m blessed to be working and happy. Unemployed creatives with my experience would kill to be in my place. Don’t let ego cloud your judgement.

I’m happy for you, UXCM1.

I just did this. I took the FT gig. And FL hasn’t exploded, so there’s that. If it does, you can always leave, but it will take a while to assess if it will again. Meantime, the chances of being old and EVER getting a FT offer imho is so rare, grab it.

Good luck- positive vibes. Go in with a winners attitude though and not the one above. They want to smell inspiration, not desperation. You got this!

This is terrible advice for a low salary job. Let someone else salivate over less than they’re worth.

Been with an Asphalt and Concrete contractor in suburban Chicagoland for a little over 2 years now, and am going into a compensation discussion tomorrow after informing my boss I no longer wish to be on a draw.

Current comp plan is as follows:
Salary- ~48k w/ draw up to about 80k, full OTE with commissions should be ~170000, this is all increased by kickers every 250k in sales that increase commission/draw

My questions is if the draw is removed, how much salary should I be asking for?

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
