Hello recruiters! How open are you to filling up ACD roles with ex-senior copywriters? In my defense, I should have spoken up at my agency and gotten the promotion I deserved. I was way better than my ACD at problem-solving and coming up with the right ideas for brands. Now I'm trying to work as an ACD but am not getting a single interview. Is it because I don't have the experience on paper?

Being a senior copywriter is great, but most ACD roles require visible leadership experience and campaign direction responsibilities. Agencies filter by title, so try building your “interim” ACD story with freelance or side-lead work, and network with creative directors open to non-traditional resumes.​

smart

If your most recent title is senior copywriter, you're still going to be viewed as a senior copywriter even if you call yourself an ex-senior copywriter. You're not getting interviews because the job market is extremely competitive right now and you're going up for acd roles against acd copywriters. While it's definitely possible to make that move up, I would also consider applying to senior copywriter roles as well

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.
