Toronto ad fish 🤠 I’ve spent most of my career working as a copywriter in London (6 years here, 2 years Toronto) and the market is pretty different here. I’m planning on moving back home but wondered….how do you find work in Toronto? Agencies barely post openings, is the recruiter scene strong? Is it mostly who you know?
Welp, see yeah later KFC!

Good lord. You are just on the cusp of senior territory. If you’re not an ACD by 10 years in I would start getting worried. But ultimately it’s not about the years. It’s about the work you produce.
Nah. Theres even immigrants who had to demote themselves to get their foot in the door so you good.
No, you’re fine

Be happy you are employed.
Sheesh
This is comment is so gross. The current job market should not diminish a person’s ambition. OP should not be worried about not being ACD, but that has nothing to do with how quote unquote grateful they should feel to be employed at all.
I’m 9 years in and I have no idea what I’m doing.
I promise that no one else is paying attention except for you
After 5 years, I think it matters more where you work - who you are surrounding yourself with and being inspired by / learning from - than titles.
I've met a lot of people with big titles who got them at the wrong places. Focus on good work. The rest will take care of itself.
Just focus on coming up with better ideas than people with those titles and you’ll get there naturally.
You need way more experience before you become an ACD. Don’t be a title chaser.
5 years isn’t enough time to hit ACD. Not solidly, anyways. 10 years is way more accurate.
No
Why haven't you been promoted to Senior / ACD by now, though?
Thanks for the advice everybody:)
