Do you think an experienced designer could fill in for an art director on simpler jr level projects? Let’s assume the writer they’re working with is decent with concepting and ‘big ideas’.

Probably, but it’s as much an ad’s responsibility to concept and come up with big ideas as it is the cw’s. The writer shouldn’t have to put in extra work to make up for shortcomings of the designer.

As long as the GD honors the AD role to service the brand and not just do something random because he/she thinks it “looks cool,” you’re fine.

(I had one those types of GDs once and it was beyond frustrating. Only when the CD ripped them apart did the person finally listen)

far as I understand it, ADs gotta ideate at a level, GDs gotta execute it at a level.

Totally, most good designers can do both roles. I worked at a place that eliminated the role of AD altogether.

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day.

I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

I got a verbal offer from a WPP agency today. The role's budgeted salary is 5k less than my desired salary.
The recruiter can get me closer but still not at my desired salary. Otherwise - it would have to go through a long approval process with no guarantee that the salary would even be OK'd.
I'm coming from a small agency, so I could be wrong - but I don't want to sell myself short by accepting the first salary they offer. Do I have any room to negotiate? Or is that risky?

I really think that some large holding companies are ever gonna force us back into the office. My ECD is based on the east coast. All three of the ACD/CD teams they hired in the past six months are east coast based. Our office is in the central time zone. Yet every job posting says “in person”. Seems like they just don’t want to advertise their hiring remote for the attractive accounts.
