Do you think people are getting promoted more easily right now? I know two juniors that got mid level roles before hitting the one year mark in their current role (and in the industry). One in particular I didn’t think was that good of a writer but ended up at a pretty big agency…is this common?

We’ve promoted people early as a retention tactic. It happens.

You’ll hopefully see an increased volume of promos (whether you personally agree with them or not, but kinda noyb?) as all the backlog of people whose promos were delayed last year starts to be relieved

that makes sense. one of the promotions I mentioned definitely makes sense, this person is always grinding and has gotten a lot of work produced, while the other one hasn’t…but maybe i’m just being bitter lol.

The timing of promotions *can* be a function of scope changes. A scope is adjusted to include hours for a mid level - someone gets promoted because there is money available [and the agency *might* lose money if a junior is put on the work]

Just titles my man. Cheap way to get jr folks to stick around.

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
