I’m currently freelancing as a CD at reputable agencies. Is it ridiculous to consider full-time ACD-level jobs?

Do like the rest of us freelancers and just start introducing yourself as the level you wish to be. Take it from me, an ACD level person who claims to be a CD with great success. Believe in yourself!!

Less stress with acd level? That’s what I’m hoping and aiming for too

If you want to be the one making the work and not dealing with all the internal and client political headaches, take an ACD position. If you want the money, then keeping aiming for CD.

No

Why? (And assuming the SCW is just out of date).

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
