This is ridiculous to me that people are saying two years. I’m three years out of a good ad school and just entering mid territory. That seems about normal to me

Everyone's journey is different. It took me 5 yrs, but I didn't go to an ad school and I started my career in another country. Coming to work in the US was like starting over (new market, different language), so yea...it's different for everyone.

It used to take 8-10 yrs now it take 3-4 years.

About 5, give or take an internship in either direction. Think I could have swung it sooner, but some life circumstances kept me in a small market for longer than I planned. It all works out in the end, and I feel reasonably caught up with my portfolio school peers at this point. About 1/5 of them are now ACDs. Only one CD.

Hi! Question on rents, we live in a rental property where we have signed our lease for 18 months at 2500$ in 2021. Our lease was up for renewal in August 2022, back then rents were high everywhere and our property management increased our rent to 3000$for a 12 month lease., we negotiated and said we were willing to sign a longer lease- but the property management said 2950 was the best they can do. These are brand new apartment buildings, so rent increase is allowed.. contd..

I would love to hear opinions on weight discrimination at firms. At my previous, very stressful, toxic firm, I was so miserable that I put on about 75 lbs. I was already heavy before then. Since starting at my new firm, I’ve lost 125 lbs, mainly because I have enough mental space and time to exercise and cook. I’m noticing that I’m being treated differently now (more work coming my way, better feedback, etc.) It might not be the weight, but curious if others have had similar experiences.

Is it practical if I move into an apt with my bf, pay the rent but have him pay all the other bills (groceries, wifi, cable, electricity,etc.)? For context, both of our mothers drive us off the edge at times and we don’t know how much longer we can put up with either. And he has about half my what I have in my savings. So I figured I can live with that deal mentioned above for a while so he can save up a bit more before we split 50/50. Any tips/suggestions? TIA
