i came up with $110 based on:
- not knowing which area of work (interactive, ad, comm, broadcast, etc)
- trying to figure quickly in head an 'average' between those

130-210k similar to hankvice's list, right on the money.
Good luck level2b

jump at it if they offer over 120k, especially now. i know only a couple over that. and most have bought in as partners to get that kinda coin. and the NYC triple tax is gonna be a shocker when you get that 1st paycheck.(fed, state, city)

thanks utopian, MindFuse. The NYC taxes are a killer :/

although money is a huge aspect in considering a new position, it may not weigh as heavily if said company is offering good vacation, insurance, 401k, profit sharing, a nice space to work in, and talented coworkers.

Definitely. I've had my share of bad agency experiences. Looking to join a passionate/inspired group - the $$ is secondary.

unless you are replying to an CD position on craigslist. the average pay on there for a CD is about $35k
