Once a company says they are working on an offer for you, how long have you seen the actual, written offer take? I haven’t made a move in a long time so can’t even remember what this timeline is like. Imagine it might depend on salary/position, as well.

I’m considering accepting a job offer at a better agency with a nice salary bump but I’m pretty burned out from the past 18 months so I’m a little worried that I might not be able to hit the ground running like one normally should with a new job. But the alternative of not accepting the job seems even worse. Anyone else find themselves in a similar spot recently?

Would you take a significant salary increase and title bump, but have to work on less exciting things...or stay at your current shop working on exciting campaigns, but no promise of a big pay increase.

I got promoted a few months ago with a small salary bump. I’m making within a normal sr. ad range, but I know I could be making more. Since then, I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility, and am effectively acting as at least an ACD level. Would it be wildly inappropriate to ask for more of a raise? I didn’t negotiate my raise with my promotion, which I realize I should have done.

This general strike talk has really got me re-evaluating my whole career. I can’t complain about compensation, I’m paid well, I have benefits, and I have a roof over my head. But the work life balance and unsustainable productivity expectations that have been created by agencies that won’t say no to clients needs to change. We place/create ads to turn millionaires into billionaires while we’re treated terribly. Something’s gotta give. I don’t know a single person who isn’t burnt out right now

Creatives make salary. Occasionally we get bonuses. Small ones. Here’s what has always bugged me, agencies make huge margins on our backs when we sell ideas and they go all the way through production. They make money on the actual creative development, they make money on the shoot, they make money using the things we make to attract other clients. It feels like we should get some sort of commission when our ideas sell. A 5-10% kicker baked into every job that makes it out into the world. No?

Advice needed! Currently work for a holding company/agency. Have about 5 YOE, and have two potential offers:

Option 1 - In house at Goldman Sachs, 14% raise from current salary. I want to make the move in house, and GS is obviously very prestigious, but other than the name I have no attachment to them.

Option 2 - Move to Europe to work for Google, which is my “dream” company. Would make about 30% less than what I make now, and it’d obviously be a huge leap of faith to take, moving to Europe
