I interviewed for a role where I told them my expected salary range was $50-60k, and the recruiter told me the base salary was $60k. I just got to the offer stage, and they are offering me $60k, can I negotiate the salary for more since I know this is their base salary rate, even though the expected salary range I gave was below? Or would I seem ungrateful since they are technically meeting the high end of my desired salary range that I gave?

Hello! I’m curious what changes or experiments are happening at agencies in light of the great resignation. I personally have had 4 people on my team of 8 leave, and it’s really hard to keep moving forward in this new remote life when you don’t have a strong team around you. Is anyone doing anything interesting to try and improve work/life balance, benefits/comp, communications or team building in this new hybrid space?

Once he quit, he gave them one weeks’ notice and they said “what happened to two weeks?” He said “well you only gave me half a bonus so I’m giving you half notice.” 🤣🤣🤣 I know they say “don’t burn bridges” but honestly when I quit I aspire to do something this epic.

Serious question not a complaint. What are the agencies thought process behind salaries? In this job market if they don’t raise someone’s salary after x amount of experience they can go find a new job with a better title and salary at another agency. Then the original agency will have to find and train someone new. Also, to get someone with similar experience they will have to pay them more anyways. Seems like a never ending cycle of wasted time. Lose someone then train and pay more 4someone new

When evaluating a job offer and it’s salary do you make your decision based on the base pay or do you really factor in the yearly (company performance based) bonus? I’ve never liked to place much emphasis on a bonus since it’s out of my control and the amount is usually a variable number where your can make up to X% in bonus. I guess I just don’t like to count with money that isn’t guaranteed. But is that the wrong way to look at it?

Good idea to leave? Current job, Pros: love my partner, don’t mind the work, fully remote, traditional advertising projects with big budgets. Haven’t had growth in yrs, pay or title, and doesn’t look like it’s coming even though I have more and more responsibility. New opportunity on horizon will be more money and ACD title. 2 day hybrid model, not fully remote. Experiential marketing vs traditional. Bonus possibilities at the end of the year! Smaller less cool company (not NY based).
