Where does an ACD make $180k? Asking for my bank account.

Yeah, they’re not paying like that in the Midwest.

Are you seriously chocked by his 180k as ACD?

I make 185k myself. NYC, big agency.

You have to stop thinking it is the position.

It’s the portfolio.

The range for CDs in New York is roughly 170k to 250k.

Depending on your portfolio, the size of the account you’re interviewing etc... I think you can start by asking anywhere between 185k and 200k as a recently promoted CD.

If they like you enough, they won’t be offended even if they think those numbers are too high.

Just checked with my better half. His salary ranged from $185K - $200K in his first year as a CD (which I just realized is what ACD2 said).

like

I think a CD, good portfolio, should be making 200k, minimal, in the NYC market.

When I say “good portfolio”, I mean famous work, proven results, awards and some pitches won.

An agency that doesn’t pay 200k for a guy like that, is stupid.

I make roughly that as a CD. So, good on you.

Salary jumps from internal promotions seem to be less than jumps you make by being poached. But if they're willing to pay you 180k as an ACD, I'd imagine the CD job would be at least $220k a year (higher if it involves a significant change in responsibility).

like

Is this NY? Depends on the agency. Some would say 200K is a CD, others would not make you CD until they could justify paying you 250K.

An ACD making 180? Shiieeeeetttttttt

You’re right. I do.

Square Veeva @teletracking

Trying to decide between 3 offers remote/Columbus

Square is 84k salary 5k bonus and 80k stocks vesting over 4 years
Veeva is 100k salary 20k bonus and 25k Stocks each year forever
Teletracking is 125k cash 5k bonus

I know about Square the most and if they paid closer to Veeva and Teletracking I’d probably go there but it seems like they underpay.
The Veeva culture seems really good but it’s a sustaining engineer position for year 1 so debugging

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
