I’m doing really good work at a really good agency, getting tons of great opportunities, getting industry recognition, making solid money, and still feel completely, totally fucked. Anyone else?

Now imagine a creative without a job, producing nothing, getting zero industry recognition and making no money. Feeling totally fucked doesn't even begin to describe it.

Heard you. I think the intent behind the post was the feeling that soon, that's exactly where they might be.

I know personally I'm tremendously thankful to be in a good spot, but I swear I always fear the other shoe is gonna drop. And thinking about five years from now? Scary.

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
