Will creative salaries ever increase? I’ve been seeing the same salary ranges for the past 5 or so years, really worrisome to think that the salary I was expected to get in this industry not continue to grow with inflation or just naturally as it has in the past.

I also think this is/has been a major driver in draining creative talent/output. So many talented creatives I know do not look at advertising as a viable long time career option.

Covid did the opposite for me. Agency did a raise freeze and I got locked in at a low salary for years.

Do any RA’s or PE’s on here sign and seal for their company? My firm is trying to bestow these responsibilities on us and I’m holding out for an increase in comp.

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job.

Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
