I’m crowdsourcing your best tips for presenting creative ideas to your CDs/ECDs. What kinds of things do you like to see from junior creatives? What do you not want to see?

Keep it simple, have your facts straight (target, insights, budgets, etc), don't spend to much time Photoshopping work, nor creating too many executions.) and be willing to listen to the feedback than feel the need to immediately respond to it. and if you're lucky, remember your CD/ECD would love for you to succeed.

When you’re a junior, I want to see quantity. Don’t give me 5 headline options. Give me 30+, even if you’re not 100% happy with them. I don’t expect all of them to be amazing. But it shows you’re trying, and there’s probably something to pull out of a lot of them. Gives me more to work with and more room to provide feedback/direction/guidance, etc. Let me know which ones are your favorites.

I weekly Hot take. There is far to much hand holding when it comes to map exploration in many Open world games. I rarely ever use the mark feature because the map is already lit up with way points for every little thing. Take genshin impact. It will lead you to your next quest objectives but any secrets or collectibles don't have a way point. You can even see on 3rd party maps how obnoxious it would be if they all did.

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?
