💸 What should I be asking for if I move to London, UK for an ACD position? Recruiters are giving me a very wide salary range. (Got international awards and 8+yrs exp)

Double check the title. ACD doesn’t really exist in most London agencies. You’ll earn less in London than in NYC, but free healthcare equalizes some of that out.

There’re no ACDs in London. The range for CDs is from 60K (in a small independent shop) to 150K (in a network agency, for a 20+ years CD). If your “international awards” are gold lions and pencils, your salary will be around 90K-110K, it’s what most big agencies offer to a first time CD. If your international awards are a couple of silver lions, a Webby, and one gold at ADCE, most agencies will pay you around 65K-80K. It’s a bit of a challenge for a SAD to find a CD job in London and most agencies know that. They might attempt to low-ball you, if they see that you really want the title. Don’t let them.

CD2 - that isn’t correct. There are definitely ACD titles. I was one for a many years in London.

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??
