I'm a former senior designer who decided to apply for an ACD role cause fuck it. Potential offer of 130k. Is that reasonable given that I have no exp as an ACD?

It’s a decent place offer for stepping into a role as a glorified deck builder. Hope you like building presentations. Because, that’s your new job should you accept this mission.

Got brought in for an interview and they love my work and want to bring me in. Have a feeling they'll try to go lower. :/

What city?

Feels low. Even for a first ACD job.
Should be closer to 150, I think.
Like, I know senior ADs making 120 at smaller shops in NYC.

Yes 120 is the upward reach of a senior copywriter at a large agency in Boston so you could get a touch higher even

Little low. Try closer to 150K.

Think you should take it with that unlikely title transition.

How many interviews is too many? I’ve done 5 one on ones with different people in the practice group. They want me to talk to a few more, but I’m frustrated. It’s so hard to find time to schedule these things and the associates don’t seem to understand I can’t just take them in the middle of the work day at work. Recruiter thinks it’s a good sign. FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.
