Have a potential opportunity but I’m worried it’s too much of a promotion. It would be a lot more responsibility than I’m used to. I don’t want to opt out of ambition but I’m also ok with slowing my roll if it’s not for me or I’m not ready. Have you faced something like this?

Congrats. Assuming it’s CD, make sure they pay you what you’re worth! If in NYC, nothing below $225K

Promotions are like parenting. You’re never ready until you have the role. Take it.

Absolutely — I think many of us have faced that crossroads at some point. From my experience, it helps to break it down: what parts of the role excite you, and where do you feel the biggest gaps? Sometimes growth looks intimidating at first, but with the right support and mindset, you rise to the challenge faster than expected. That said, it’s also smart (and courageous) to pause and reflect if the timing isn’t right. Trust your instincts — they’re part of what got you this opportunity in the first place!

Is this not what you have been working towards? Do it, you'll catch it, it may require some late nights and some podcast mentoring but you'll make it. Believe in yourself! Never hold yourself back when it's what you're working for in the first place!

You’re not American are you?

Take it. The job market is very competitive right now. The best way to learn is to throw yourself into the fire. Creative leaders are problem solvers... have faith that you will figure it out.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!
