Wondering what the salary band for a new Sr. Art Director working in a large Pharma agency is nowadays? Asked for 90k- 100k, potential of meeting in the middle. Slightly less experience but good enough to get the job. Should I push for the 100k?

😳 na!!!

$120K AT MINIMUM

Do not take less to work in Pharma!!! I get $120K as a Sr CW in the LA area. When I was in-house and not agency, I got more!

Pharma can probably pay you $140K in NYC tbh. Don’t undervalue yourself or underestimate how crappy working Pharma is.

Secure the bag, friend!

I once got an offer from Cigna who didn’t bat an eyelash at 130k for an AD role. Aim higher. Pharma work is dense, long hours, lots of ISI copy to work around.

Wow, that's great. I will definitely aim higher. Thank you for sharing

Wya? NYC/LA/smaller market?

Opps should've mentioned NYC!

But they've offered a monthly salary of 12k. They said the max they can do is 15k.
The problem here is, I was under the impression that Media houses generally pay higher, but 15k is too less I believe.
