Let them give you an offer first. Never say a number first, you might accidentally lowball yourself. Once they offer you something, ask for 5k more.

I know Zulu does 40k/year for their Employeeship (they have a whole schtick about not doing internships, if you haven’t you should look it up) but that’s for people with no experience whatsoever and they’re not a huge corporate beast. I’d ask for 45k and let agencies negotiate you down (or not, it’s your life).

^Agree. Also if you’re not Canadian, keep in mind taxes in Canada are much higher than here, and of course the dollar is worth less. I’m sure you’re already thinking about that but just in case. :)

I'd say it ranges from mid 30s to low 50s. Depending on the size of the agency, the accounts, etc.

I'd aim for 40.

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

P&T is ‘central to our FY23 strategy’ and yet we had to beg and plead to even get a handful of P&T Directors to represent at the Director CLeX happening this week in San Diego.

Not feeling the ‘one firm’ narrative we push - completely tone deaf and sends a horrible message for P&T Directors.

Major missed opportunity to start bridging the divide - particularly at a level where the real work gets done.
