What are your agency’s current salary bands? Mine feel a little lawless. We have super talented CDs making less than new (not great) ACDs. Raised this with management and am getting some corrections through, but what is going on in your worlds?

I think it’s safe to say if you haven’t made a job change or leveraged an offer internally in recent months, you are severely underpaid.

Yep. This. And since there is no transparency, there is no way to know!

Same as yours, no structure at all. This seems like a trend in the advertising world.

Seems to be about 140 - 175 for ACDs at my agency - would love to know what first year CDs are making… I saw a google doc of salaries once but everything seemed shockingly low

Maybe agencies are putting fake news in there

funny

First year as a CD I made 180

Honestly, as a recruiter I see numbers all over the place. Depends on how big the agency is, how much people want to work there and, of course, location.

So I asked the same thing recently and they wouldn’t answer at all. They said they are equitable, but then I’m see offers for art directors $40k away from CDs.

I’m in interviews with a few companies. It was initially to see what was out there to negotiate my pay. Now, I’m seriously considering leaving my current company because of what one of the prospect companies represent: everything I want in a company/role. (Plus they reached out to me) AND they will pay me almost double what I’m currently making annually, put me in a position to advance (so many options!!!!!) and allow me to move/travel when I get ready to.

What should I do? Guidance please!!!

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
