When making the Jump from AAE to AE, what should the salary be? How much of a salary increase should I expect if I got promoted within my current agency vs. getting hired as an AE at a different agency. Trying to see if I want to stick it out at my agency or start interviewing over the next 6 months.

I started as an Account Coordinator in Chicago making $40k. Left my first agency after 5 months (incredibly toxic work culture) and now am an AE making $55k.

I started as an AAM making $34k plus overtime, which averaged to like $42k. When I got promoted to AM the offer was $45k, non-negotiable. A significant increase % wise, but still a lowball. I found out later that the high end of the band for AMs at my agency was in the lower 60s.

The best way to get a significant bump is to to get a counter offer or leave.

Started as an AAE at $40k, had to leave to get the AE title at $65k and got promoted without a pay bump. Moral of the story, jump ship to make that $. You’ll always make more that way than a promotion

You should be making $60-70 for an AE role. Also my agency is hiring an AE - dm me.

Aim for 15-30% increase. If they say no, you did well! If they say yes, you may have been able to ask for more and next time you know!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
