What’s compensation really like at higher levels of a media agency? SVP EVP C level...does bringing in new business or other incentives really sway your pay/bonus situation?

Really great question, and something I’ve often wondered myself. How far do I need to make it before I start getting paid a decent salary in the ad agency world?

AD 1- what do you consider a decent salary ?

90k or higher - I guess decent wasn’t the word I should have used, more along the lines of comfortable.

Should already be around $90k at the AD level. SVP - C level can vary but 300-600k salary + bonus (for some)

90k lololol

Why is that so funny? @D1
