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.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
