I saw a job posting on LinkedIn for an ACD position. In the requirements, they asked for someone who has already been an ACD at a large agency for two years. (Continued)

ACD roles now include the responsibilities of what was once, CDs. They do this b/c it’s cheaper than hiring a CD. Pretty soon they’re going to be requiring CD responsibilities for interns b/c it’s even cheaper!

likefunny

Acds are now producers, ads, cws, CDs and account people who can't be bothered all in one. It's way fun. But hey, at least the pay is better.

likefunny

Some people never make the jump from acd to cd. And if the money is better, it’s not a lateral move

As far as job requirements I always think about a woman I read about who said she was an accountant when she wasn't, got the job, studied at night, excelled.

They are basically just looking for people who want to make a lateral move?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
