How long would you suggest a Jr. AD needs experience before applying to an AD position elsewhere?

Embrace the title you have.

Don't go backward unless you are at a smaller shop in a smaller city and trying to get to a larger shop in a larger city.

You will find that most people don't know what they are doing until they are sitting in the role. You will learn fast and assume the role.

@jr copy 1 - I think it really depends. If you feel qualified, apply! The recruiter can decide if you're not a fit for the role.

Totally depends on the agency. I'd say 3-5 years on average?

The agency I'm at doesn't give "Jr" titles. Will it look bad on a resume to switch agencies and take on a jr title after holding an AD title? Feeling stuck.

Yeah also titles vary between agencies. For example, an AD at Huge is the equivalent of an ACD at other agencies. I'd say that works the same way from larger cities (AD) compared to smaller (ACD). Apply for jobs you feel qualified for, and like I said, if it's a fit, they'll reach out! No harm in applying.

Three years is about average if you're not awful. Anything less than that you need really compelling reasons (won major awards, or produced an amazing campaign or two).

Do you think great results would justify only 1 year? With prior experience in 2 internships. I'm thinking about trying to become a really low level Copywriter

Pay wise

Ah. Cool just checking it didn't raise any red flags. Yah I definitely think I have a lot of room to improve, but I do feel ready. I'm not hitting homers every swing but I am consistently getting on base.

I was promoted from junior to AD in a year within the agency I was at in NYC. If you feel qualified, go for it. The worst they can say is no.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?
