Has anyone here transitioned from being a creative into a different role? If so, why and are you happy with your decision? Do you miss being a creative? Not sure my heart is in this anymore.

I am no longer a creative. I am still a copywriter. There’s just nothing creative about the work anymore.

I went from working in advertising for 28 years all the way up to CD from a production artist (I’ve done traditional, digital, and UX) until I aged out (the week I stopped coloring my hair). I started up a luxury black car service that caters to out of town foodies, Hollywood production agencies and C-class corporate executives. I miss advertising so much.

35 yrs and still at it. I figure I may have 2 years left. What to do next, no freaking idea? For the most part, I loved every bit of it. I don't mind, not doing big. sexy stuff anymore. Now that I'm a desk jockey more than ever. It's churn-and-burn, more, more. Workflows and systems, Yawn. I miss shoots, working with great photographers, directors, studios, etc. The travel. It's a different game today, and I'm finally getting burned out. I've been working remotely for the past 2 years. I miss the people more than the work.

Why only 2 years left? By choice or you feel aged out?

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
