What should be a salary range of mid-weight art director in Canada? I live in Toronto...work for agency for 4 years. Last raise I got was 2 years ago. Covid made our agency go on a wage freeze...and I am overdue for performance review. Wondering if I should approach my boss for salary talk...or jump ship?

jumping will give you better salary increase, always. unless you want to be stuck in 'salary talks' for months.

The number will likely fluctuate greatly depending on how big the agency is, what accounts they have, the work you've done, the awards you've won (if that matters to the agency), etc....

But 70,000 - 80,000 for intermediate feels about right, to me. But I haven't been intermediate for a while, so I could be wrong.

Need some more info. What do you make? Do you have any awards? Notable campaigns? New business wins?

I make 65 in Toronto as an intermediate. 4 years in. Started at a small shop and moved to a bigger one. Started at 36k as a junior...
