How long do people usually stay at their first junior level creative roles? I’m only 2 months in and feel like I should be looking elsewhere. Not for the money, but for the workload, the account, and what the work entails

Each job on your resume should be at least a year. If this is your first junior role - You haven’t learned anything yet. That’s also probably why you’re still in the kids sandbox. Learn to be awesome at the things you’re doing now so you can get those really cool assignments in 6 months.
