Starting, maybe 135-140?
I was at $125K as associate account director... Hmm
Depends on soooooo many factors. Can’t start far lower
It's really hard to tell because account director can mean so many different things. I have employed AD's with 7-12 years experience anywhere from $95k - $175 for older, more experienced candidates.
I was also in a similar position and was concerned I was lowballed with a mid-cycle promotion. Started at $125K

Take the $ then jump. I'd say around $140 is avg for an AD. $95k-110k if you're promoted internally from a Sup.
Following. In the same exact boat now - was lowballed when I was promoted earlier this year, and trying to renegotiate salary now. Average should be around $120k...
