Anyone else get the feeling they’re being pigeonholed into social work? Or have any advice not to get pigeonholed into just social work? Is there even a pigeonhole and I need to snap out of it and just be into the work I have going on?

Love from a hard working art ACD who misses more then vertical social edits 🥺 need a pat on the head today

Yup social is everything now. Experience seems to be the one other space that still has potential to make cool work, but the 360 traditional campaign is hard to come by these days, sadly.

One thing I’ve been trying (emphasis on trying) to educate my client on is how social can be so much more than just creator posts or animated assets, because that’s what blends in now that everyone is doing it

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
