How do you see your career looking in another five years? Do you think you'll be doing the same thing you're doing now, a modified version, or a completely different version? Or better yet, a whole other industry? Curious to hear what people's paths are like amidst all this change!

I hope to have expanded my scope, either leading bigger campaigns or moving into brand strategy. I’m open to new directions, especially as the industry evolves, but I’ll likely stay close to creative problem-solving and storytelling, even if the exact role changes.

I think I’ll be in a different role entirely. God knows what, something creative though, always.

Despite great reviews, I haven’t gotten a raise for 4 years or promoted in five years so.. I’m looking.

I just hope I finally have one. 6 years in and I’ve had a full-time job for a total of 6 months.

Hope to have gone client side by then.

Within five years, most of what I do will be done by AI. I expect to be invited to seek success elsewhere.

will be on the wrong side of 35 by then and don't really see a future in this if we're being honest

Keep your head up. Adapt or die
