Won a piece of business no one wanted to pitch, snowballed into a portfolio of brands that everyone wanted to work on and got a 40% increase. Did it again during the pandemic. Same result. It was really tough. People have a hard time recognizing good people and good work in this business. For me, the best validation comes with clients who point out your work and want you running their business.

Won a bunch of awards just a few years in, got poached to another agency and doubled my salary. 🥳

Started an entirely new position for me, which has been a learning curve, and within the same year got a 10k raise and then a 20k raise for my contributions. i never got a raise at any other job before.

Got a $40k increase and promotion without switching jobs. Felt incredible!
