You look very close. Agencies are asking for more than two years, and interns now need about one year of agency experience, so they’re trying junior level talents at intern prices.

I feel like a lot more companies are doubling up on designers as ADs. I mean the work we do at a junior level is pretty much similar, might as well hire someone who knows an even wider range of software to cut costs.

yeah it is typical unfortunately. Some agencies hire junior designers and involve the AD/SAD/CD when in need for art direction. Ends up costing them less 😒

Any leads for good contract doc review attorneys/companies? Working on a complex internal investigation that requires analysis far beyond simple responsiveness coding and getting quotes that outsource to India for a fraction of the cost of reviewing in house is actually not what I’m looking for. Saving money is a consideration but primary driver is dedicated/consistent time commitment. Team is stretched too thin to make it through the volume.
