    i'd say depends on experience, talent, who you know (especially in nyc) and what you can get away with what is in your contract, possibly around $70-75k in a realistic current market situation

    • a CD is different wherever you go, so that's why there are such wide salary ranges ... in-house at a smaller company vs at a global agency, for examplemonospaced
    • Also, re: Vermont. Well, that's Vermont. Very well could be equitable, if examining cost of living. I wouldn't be considering NYC numbers in VT.bulletfactory
    • I was an AD 9 years ago making $90k. That was a small ad agency in NYC. $70-$75k is way too low.CyBrainX
