Need advice. I’m a super senior content EP at a well known agency in the U.S., where I’ve been for quite some time. Checked out http://Glassdoor.com, and I make at the high end of the ranges for similar agencies. In the past year I’ve also taken on additional responsibilities (outside of traditional EP duties) that have doubled my workload and raised my profile quite a bit. How should I go about brining up a sizable salary bump (some creatives and even planning peeps earn more with much less responsibility)?
I’m making 55k in Chicago. Am I underpaid?

All of these places charge the clients 120-150 an hour and offer you 50-60 (sometimes even lower). That’s a ridiculously high markup.
They are parasites.
They train their recruiters to seek out hungry/desperate creatives and take advantage of you being in a dry spell. Being that creatives are generally soft/sensitive, someone always says yes. Stop saying yes, people who say yes are ruining it for everyone. After checking out salaries on Glassdoor, find out your freelance rate here: whatismydayrate.com Yes, the rates are accurate and every freelancer should ask for what they’re truly worth. You’re worth more than you’re giving yourself credit for!
@SC1 has to be kidding
It’s bad. I’ve been offered $140-150k for an ACD spot.
@ACD1—👍🏻😀
If u haven’t been a senior very long they sometimes try to low ball you in the 100k range. But if you’re experienced or highly awarded it should be 120-170
I’m ok with $170k. Not taking a $50k cut...
Title inflation due to the good creatives going freelance, in-house or becoming management.
ACD *is* mid- to senior creative now.
Uhh what city is this? I'm at $65k in St. Louis...
