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...

Ad or PR?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
