Hi everyone! I’m an ACD/Art with 12 years of experience. Currently looking for my next gig in New York. Unfortunately, most of the times I apply for a job, I’m somehow “overqualified” 😳 (cont)

BTW this happened to me today. Kudos to JL for having nice people in their Hiring Team. Their Talent Coordinator was really nice.

How can a person be “overqualified”? I think I still have a lot to learn, specially coming to NYC from other country and culture. Can anyone point me to an agency hiring senior creatives?

Overqualified is how HR discrimate on age or salary. They want cheap and young. It has nothing to do with you. Its all about the $$$$

Even tho I’ve been in this business for 10+ years, I recognize that every day we have the opportunity to learn and grow as our industry shifts. Sadly, finding a job at a Consumer agency has been quite hard. So, if you guys know about a nice opportunity, please feel free to share.

Don't count out marketing agencies!

We have open senior positions!

Haha we do have some cool DTC brands happening but good luck on your search!

Are you going through 3rd party recruiters or are you dealing with people in house at the agencies? I always have the best luck dealing directly with agencies. I’ve found that nobody can sell me to a prospective employer or negotiate a better deal for me than I can do for myself.

“Overqualified” *after* you agreed to their salary is ageism, plain and simple.

Timing for recruiting for the purpose of negotiating salaries: I like my job/company, but know I can get a better salary with my skills/experience elsewhere. With promo reviews coming up, I expect to receive a promotion, but want to have another offer to inflate my salary a bit more. Anybody have insight on the timing and general do/don’t?

Starting the interview process with another company in industrials, and my current TC is ~$600k. Headhunter wants to chat about comp expectations - anyone have advice on how to approach? Is there a minimum bump people tend to shoot for before making the jump (e.g. 25%)? Trying to keep it clean and focus on annual TC, but plan to also communicate I expect to be made whole on my unvested RSUs . TIA!
