Why the sarcasm. It’s just a question calm down . Assuming their evaluations have consistently been “exceed expectations” if you wanna get “technical”.

In my experience, the only way to get a significant bump is to leave or get an offer elsewhere. Depending what market you’re in, you could probably get $20k or slightly more pretty easily.

Just went from jr at 60 to mid at 80k in NYC, but both agencies are known “hot shops” so perhaps I could have settled for more elsewhere.

Doesn’t matter how good you are, you want a big raise? Jump ship!

tbh, in this market, it’d be a win to get any sort of raise when getting promoted from jr ad to ad.

i went from 45 to 65 just jumping shops on the east coast, still as a junior. then 65 to 85 going to mid-level in SF. you’re never gonna get a meaningful raise until you jump ship

10-15% of your salary for a promo with title bump is fairly standard. 🤷‍♀️
