Your CDs know you’re capable. Dig in, own your projects, and beat that critical inner voice into silence. Someone there knows you’ve got the chops. Prove them right. And for perspective loads of us stay in a Sr Role for years. Find one of those incredible creatives making you jealous and turn them into your mentor. We all make each other better - at least when a place is collaborative and healthy.

I’m sure your just worrying too much.

You still got the job though! They saw something in your book that you cannot. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m sure if you talked to the other writers, they’ll say everyone else’s portfolio is better than theirs too

Forget your portfolio. What about the work you’re doing at the job? Are you keeping up?
