It’s hard to make the leap from acd to cd at a different company. So it’s not you

Any chance you could force a promotion at your current place and search with the new title?

I’m about six months in and pretty much at the same level as somebody transitioning into CD. It’s brutal. I’ve gotten a ton of interviews and some have made it pretty far but none of them work out for one reason or another.

If you’re in New York the CD market is tough right now. Most agencies are looking for mid level creatives or ECDs for whatever reason

Worker Bee for 85k and ECD taking 225k (pay cut). Trash. Flat models are trash!!

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
