I'm having trouble getting promoted. Many people tell me my designs are more senior level, I now throw my phone in my desk, and I'm more punctual but I'm not really sure how to wow them.

Often, the best way to get promoted is by leaving your current agency altogether.

Why don't you ask them directly what exactly needs to be done to be promoted? And if there is even a budget + open role for promotion. Don't do the guessing game.

Thank you. I'll try that. And apply.

So what is your role exactly? A designer? Is assistant AD like an associate AD? What kind of projects do you work on? If you’re an AD are you expected to concept? If so, how are you conceptually? Are you selling through work?

Hello. I am a Spring 2022 Masters graduate, possibly aiming for a full time conversion in a retail company that I am doing my internship at. My internship is that of a Data analyst. I also have an MBA and 2.5 years of work experience in Financial analysis (from India). Though I am new to tech, I was doing analysis before.
I was told I might be good for a level 2 position. I am hoping to understand the salary range I need to aim at?

So, I am currently in-house at a retail company looking to move to agency side. I really want to be in an environment that is doing more branding work than anything. I don’t mind some (CONT)

What do you do when you absolutely love the work you do and the content you're making but you are just completely done with an incredibly difficult and unnecessarily demanding team. I don't think i can handle working with these people anymore, I'm so entirely burnt out, but i absolutely hate that my only option is to just leave the work i like doing and that I'm proud of. And I work in a very niche industry so i can't just do the same thing somewhere else.

I discovered I was gifted about two years ago. It made me realize that the reason why I was ‘weird’ was because I was different. It took me almost 2 years to understand that I shouldn’t hide my difference. I love the way I think but it’s not typical. And I get very frustrated when I’m asked to do things the same way another ‘typical’ person would’ve done them (no judgement!). Anyone in the same situation? Would love to hear your experience, especially in account management :)
