It’s been a blessing and a curse to be passed over for promotions year after year. I’m in the sweet spot of being highly skilled and experienced, but without the off putting high salary requirement that puts me on the chopping block. Knock on wood.
I hear you. I was promoted to ECD and the politics is eating me alive. Went from being a star to, most likely the chopping block. I'm good at being a creative director and making the work better. But not good at playing the game.
And with all this, not what you know but who you know 😕. Same goes for non-creative roles
Yes. I tried at a few agencies and I finally connected positively with one. I said I wasn’t concerned with big money or titles. But it took a lot of proving. And I finally got in. A year later. Or more. At a pay cut. But it was good. I worked hard. Real hard. Got promoted up twice. Making decent money.
Yeah, it’s always been a “ youre over qualified” or “someone of your stature doesn’t want this...”
That ain’t gonna work
That’s great to hear CD5
