Art director/ copywriter

Yes way. There are a lot of super senior, CD level ADs/CWs earning CD level money who are just doing the work. Been like that for years.

All the research I’ve ever don’t has suggested that $200K isn’t unlocked until GAD level

This is accurate for strategy ---- 200k at the Group/Sr. Director level across both Dentsu and IPG

Answers need a point of reference like location, size and type of agency.

Depends on your function! CD, VP AD, Strat Director possibly etc

Depends on years of experience! We hired a VP AD who makes 200 and I believe our Strat director may as well (but I could be wrong on this one)

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
