I built a sheet that tracks all indexed creative jobs every 24hrs - 85%+ of jobs are being outsourced to the Philippines, India, Ukraine for a few bucks per-week.
Right besides AI, we’re all done for.
What should American creatives really be doing besides working blue collar jobs at this point?

This has been happening for years now. Large agencies are in deep trouble.. they need to pivot. In office is not a strategy to gain the best talent.

There’s a lotta news. I think a stranger on fishbowl claiming they made a tracker that predicts DOOOM deserves a challenge. Why should I trust that an anonymous “creative lead” has any idea how to build an accurate system for tracking global labor economics? Sounds like we should bring in a statistician, an economist, and maybe an actuary just to be safe?

I’m an in-house designer. My company decided to offer social media marketing packages to our clients. Today they asked me to take full ownership of that outside social media marketing on top of my current job duties.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
