Sometimes it’s not the self-assessment that you can since that’s bias. Also, since you’re an art director, at this point it might not be how talented you are but how you handle relationships with people. Have you reached out to your peers to find out if they can refer you? Most times it’s how they see you fit on the team. Or, are you looking for freelance? Many ADs I’ve seen do perm to full.

I agree it’s all about relationships at this point. I have a friend who is an amazing AD and he struggles to find jobs—he’s foreign, he’s not the guy who makes jokes in meetings and charms everyone. He’s likable but overly humble. Different from you obviously since that’s his experience, but his talent is not enough. I’ve also seen many really likable and not talented people being offered great opportunities. 😒

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
