Maybe your internships were more rigorous than most and you can communicate why that makes you the exception. Most likely you will get the salary bump once you’ve been a junior for a bit and jump ship to another shop.

Also - “two years” internship during college is not full time. While internships are great you still need to learn the ropes, and that doesn’t really start until you’re full time and fully accountable. Doesn’t matter how “rigorous” the college internship was. But do not despair, work hard and learn and there is plenty of growth $ wise in strategy.

Junior strat in Chicago. 50k before taxes. You will most certainly feel underpaid for the work you’re asked to do and the hours you’ll have to work. I know another junior planner making 51 and one making 55. Big shops will likely offer you 50 pre tax. Don’t accept lower if you have loans or pay all your bills by yourself. It’ll be hard

Depends on city. Ask for at least $60.

Realistically about $40-45K. Only having internship experience isn't quite a strong enough background to negotiate much higher.

At least 50-55k. I made more than 45k at my internship which was at a WPP company (if I were there for a year) so that’s why I’m shocked

like

45k

But hoping that the average is higher

$40-$45K

Depends on type of strategy... Business Consulting is higher than that. More like in the high 50s-60s.

Mid 40s in SF

I’m Rly shocked that it’s still a low salary even tho my resume is packed with agency/strategy experience..I figured it would be above average but I guess not

What are you expecting?

That seems completely reasonable for digital/business strategy campus hires (especially with experience - which is not a bonus, but required these days)

65k
