Has anyone ever taken a role that is a level or two below? I’d like to go back to a Sr. Designer role and is fine with a pay cut. Does that make me less attractive or more attractive as candidate?

hi, I‘m a Marketing & Advertising graduate looking for a creative position. my absolute goal is being a CD in the distant future. i was thinking how to approach this and decided to look for copywriting positions. however, i‘m self taught in Photoshop and Illustrator and I mostly enjoy doing the visual concept creation but i am nowhere near a graphic designer skill wise. so yeah, this is the dilemma and i‘m looking for any constructive advice and what you would do if you were in my shoes.

A wonderful friend recommended me to a recruiter, when the recruiter was looking to place a creative.
This role is at a small agency, I’m going to be paired with a Sr. Copywriter. They’re looking for a conceptual thinker and brilliant designer, no pressure.
I have some internships and some freelance under my belt since graduating portfolio school, and a current laptop that’s running on fumes ha.
I’m intimidated, cautious, yet super grateful to finally hear from someone.
Any words of wisdom?

Not seeing many openings for junior ADs at the moment, which is understandable. So I’ve been wondering if I could potentially pivot to land a different role for the time being.

Some of these roles I’m considering are:
Multimedia Designer
Designer
Video Editor
Photo Editor

Should I be marketing myself as a junior AD with these skills and apply for different roles?

I guess this is the new normal as far as design jobs go, in a world where having a team of specialized creatives is just too expensive? I'm a junior designer and this is an "entry level" position, but no entry-level designer has enough experience in all of these things to be considered "expert" or "strong" in all of them.

Feels bad, man. I used to consider myself a generalist until I realized that I'm not really a designer until I've done UI/UX and video/motion graphics too.

Lets talk about the fake diversity culture in advertising: I’m a woman of color who fell into the agency world via a jr designer position posted on craigslist in 2011. I’ve always felt like an intruder in a white mans world no matter how ‘nice’ everyone was. From then til now Ive watched clients call for an ‘attractive white women’ model shift to ‘racially ambiguous models’ and seen copy voice / tone change to ‘sound less white’. BUT nothing has bothered me more than this. Thoughts???
