Got to a 100k as a senior designer at midsize ad agency. Now at 140k in-house for a startup.

Nice! In what city are you located?

Usually promotions happen faster in agency where turnover is higher and the agency can bill more for higher level designers. But the pay is better in house.

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant?
