I would say if you haven’t been promoted to the next level within 2 years it would say more about your employer than it does you. That being said I highly doubt anyone will care that much about how long you held your first position out of college

I’d say 1-2 is standard so longer would be questionable?

So many factors! Time to promotion isn’t directly correlated with performance/aptitude and the people that would care about that probably aren’t the people you want to work for. If you feel you’re working at the next level ask for the promo and good luck x

Interested in frontend dev and have been learning on my own. Manager says chase doesnt have much React opportunities. Is it possible to make a switch when I barely have experience?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
