I’m no longer finding fulfillment in being an art director. I’m tired of the constant comparing and not having my ideas chosen. It’s crushing my self esteem and I want to do something more meaningful. What career pivots have you seen people make?

I have a bunch of creative side projects going at any one time. Being creative for money is not the same as being an artist, unfortunately. It took me years to truly understand that. But nobody can tell you to change your pottery (especially after it’s been in the kiln) or that your illustration needs a bigger logo or that your painting might be ok to hang on the wall for next year. It’s all yours and it is so much more fulfilling.

Do you like being on set? Production could be stimulating. Or photography / video

To be honest no. I find it very tedious.

My future escape plan is to become art therapist.

I’m feeling the same. I’m trying to pivot to influencer management, starting with doing it as a side gig. I also started teaching one class at a community college.

I try to create my own personal projects! Execute your ideas for yourself. Sometimes jobs like that are good just to focus on the craft and redirect your creative vision on something more personal while the right opportunity shows up

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
