How many years after college did it take you to become an art director?

Question: Are you trying to transition to art direction or are you working somewhere where “art director” is equivalent to design director? Cause then I would say the average time is 8 years. If it’s the former just give yourself a year and work on spec projects to regain your portfolio into an art direction concept driven space. Not an easy road to take though.
