What can a mid-weight strategist in NYC negotiate their salary to? I only have 2 years experience but lead an account and am valued as top-talent.

Look up the annual Strategist Survey by Heather LeFevre. LinkedIn also has a tool for this. Look at the range and see where you sit. If you're at the top end, look for a title bump.

I don't think it's a matter of looking like a dick, it's a matter of whether the agency has the budget for that position or whether they think the salary is in line with the value you'll bring to the table. I think it's a bit more complex than other people at this title are making x therefore I can get x.

85 in my experience. 90-120 for senior (NYC, upper end for more experience)

Clarification - 2 years in the biz doesn't warrant 90K salary imo but we're all a bit of con artists here so get as much as you can

Looks like I need to ask for a raise @seniorstrategist

2 years in strat, but how many in the biz? I wouldn't expect more than 75. Even if you were running an account you are a mid at best (solely based on the info provided)

2 years in the biz total. I make 75 now, actually. Switching agencies and wondering if I'll look like a dick if I try to get 90

Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at
Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

Hi, has anyone ever heard of adenine Solutions? Thanks!

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...
