At times I'm jealous of copywriters. At every shop I've been to, ADs are asked to do more jobs like animating & video editing on top of the usual concepting, design, comps, decks, presenting, & idea writeups while it seems the skills stay the same for CWs. It feels worse knowing there are good pro animators/editors/photographers looking for jobs. I'm sure there are CWs being asked to do additional jobs, I don't want to discount their struggles. Just needed to vent.

How did you all deal with failure in your career. I was ambitious and smart. I was in IBM and considered to be one of the best of my class. I was fired and haven’t really found my way.

I don’t know what to do anymore. 3 years after the fact, I am still at an entry level position. I hate myself for letting things get this bad but I don’t know how to get out of this perpetual cycle. I tried working my ass off but have not been able to shake off that unfortunate past.

It's me the famed tax attorney. I haven't posted much because I've been busy counting my stacks. But my significant other stood up to her family, in a way that's probably actually harsher than what I would have suggested. Safe to say, there will be no more passive aggressive suggestions that we should move.
