$165-$200k. Really depends on the size of the agency and indie vs holdco.
HoCo I'd imagine on the higher end
I’m gonna say somewhere in the $150-170k range. Some will say less. Depends on the agency, and how good a fit/awards you got. There will probably be some overlap between very well paid ACDs and poorly paid CDs

Chicago agencies have typically gotten away with paying less because it’s “cheaper to live here,” but Chicago has gotten a lot more expensive over the last 5 years.
