I spotted a great Sr Art Director position, but it would be beneath my current ACD/CD level. Is there a way to use it as a foot-in-the-door? Should I apply at the outside chance they’d make it ACD? Or reach out and see if they need freelance help?

Do what you got to do to get the foot in the door.

Just apply. Even if you don’t titles don’t really matter. I know money does but i guess you can see if it gets to that point.

Go apply, foot in the door and then do your best to make it work!

Foot in door, now! In this environment, I think titles are pointless, just enjoy what you do for a living and get the monies!!

Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
