Later in that show he negotiates a raise from Roger up to, I think, $45K. To put it in perspective: Pete's making $3,500 per year Ken Cosgrove's making $15,600 per year Harry Crane's making $11,700 per year, up from $10,400 I do wonder why Pete is making so much less than Cosgrove, who's also an account executive. Is he that much less experienced? Also, Don Draper’s salary was about $30K — a lot of money in those days — and when he was being wooed by McCann Erickson, they offered him $35K.
