If you’re a rockstar !

It all depends on how long you’ve been in the biz, which agency you were at, what the project/client you’ll be working on etc. At ad agencies anything between 1600-2300. If it’s direct to client you’re looking at 1800-2500. Maybe even a tad more if you’re a special talent.

Yeah, and I just love how full-time employees grill you because they know that you bill that much.

Oh my god. I am finally done with the CPA.

Additional Posts in Advertising

I just got called about a job on Thursday, showing interest. They’re already back in the office so the job would require me to be. Said they’re classified as an essential business because most of their advertising is for healthcare. Is this a hard red flag? Really Seems like it.

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.
