Honestly in this industry you’ve got a better shot with the 28 year old at the bar.
Damn. Now that’s a reply! 👏

Stories like yours are how i know the executive teams in this industry aren’t the best. I’m in my low 30’s but worked in consulting for awhile before.
If clients are slashing fees and the industry is massively consolidating, the first thing i would do is look for people like you to fill the agency with.
Why? First, Because your experience and title signal that I’m searching for experienced creatives who touch the work at a lower price point. Second, Many of our clients are my peers and they plainly don’t respect our ACD’s creative perspectives. Part of that is due to age. It’s harder to push back on an experienced opinion who is actually doing the work and in their 50’s.
Anyway almost strong executive in this industry has left it, and what remains are people playing at business. Good luck on your search
Try being a 50 year old applying for a senior copywriter position.
Oh I have. That’s Epstein files territory.
The recruiter is most likely 28
So true.
The only person I’ve ever seen actually retire from this industry was an ACD. (Yes, he was over 50)
Why not freelance as a CD then apply for CD roles?
Stranger danger!!!
Huh, you must be a woman because it seems like society cheers on the 50 year-old man hitting on the 28-year-old females 🤷🏼♀️
I know! I can’t even go to bars anymore because I hear so much cheering! It’s sooo loud and constant.
