What’s the highest salary you’ve seen for Creative Director? I’ve seen $500k on the industry side. It is one of the most lucrative corporate roles out there, very underrated career path.

Assuming this is Pre Covid19 rates?

Oh yeah, not suggesting they need good grades. Actually the opposite - that they should explore the artistic side of the corporate world and spend their time honing their skills for these types of opps. Your typical wannabe banker or real banker would probably look down on the artsy types yet they are having a greater business impact, can make more money and are highly sought after by many different types of businesses where brand and image are critical. Just found it interesting as there is a common misconception that artsy, creative roles don’t pay much but it’s not true at the top
management levels. They can make more than other C suite execs.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
