It’s the toughest role in creative. You’re expected to lead AND do the work w/o the proper financial compensation.
Welcome to my world
Exactly what ACD1 said.
The good news is you’re on the path to be a CD which comes with its own set of challenges. To date though, I think being an ACD was one of the toughest roles I’ve had.
Came here to co-sign on what everyone has said. It’s a love/hate relationship because you’ve earned the right get your hands dirty and lead on some of the best creative opportunities but it’s also such an exhausting grind. As a CD for a while now there are definitely times I miss actually doing the work vs guiding it.
You hit the nail on the head there. Its not just you, ACD is always a tough middleman role that sucks everywhere in my experience.
Yup, but a good CD/ECD makes a big difference. They will champion you and let you take the lead, trusting you to make AND represent the work without being micromanage-y.
