Been working as a JAD at the same agency for almost 2 years, is it too early to be promoted to an AD? If yes, is there any way I can push for a pay raise at the very least? Feeling frustrated that I’m still making the same salary as I started out as but not sure if that’s just the norm lol

It’s not too early. Start asking now. See what you need to do to be considered for a promotion. Ask for a raise (this may not happen given everything going on this year). But ask and get an answer about what you need to do to move up. And if it’s looking like it’s not possible, start looking for AD positions at other agencies.

I personally regret not being more proactive about it. Nobody is just going to give you a promotion, you have to make it happen for yourself.

Start to push for it. No one will give it to you unless you ask for it. Set up a meeting with your manager and make a case for why you should be promoted. If they say no, ask what you can do to meet the criteria for promotion. If you get a lot of "uhhh ehhhh well you know," then it's time to leave and get your bump at the next agency.
