How much does an account planner at a large ad agency in Chicago earn?

Question

I have 4.5 years of experience at a branch of a large, internationally reputable ad agency situated in a foreign country. Assuming my professional experience will count (since it's the same job - even if in a different market), what would be a realistic salary expectation?

Answer 1

As much as you can get? Try to start high and come down a little, $45,000-$60,000? Ad agency models are set up to pay employees less than they are worth but the good news is when you get some good experience and training from a large ad agency you can get more from the client side.
