I’m one of the oldest creatives at my agency and I have difficulty dealing with having my work scrutinized or filtered by ACDs who are much younger than me. They are talented and smart, but I also have experience and I feel that I can’t push my ideas farther because I’m in a position of disadvantage, hierarchically speaking. I know this is my fault for having taken a position that probably was intended for someone younger. I’m trying to see the bright side but my ego is bruised. Thoughts?

It’s the work being criticized - not you. Don’t take it personal. If you can’t push your ideas it’s not because of your age.

As a hunch, I don’t reckon they’re killing your ideas because of your age. No CDs or ACDs aim at killing ideas for no reason to end up needing to come up with ideas themselves. You just have to keep going and let your best ideas win them over.

This can happen with a partner at the same level or a partner with the same age. It’s about the chemistry to identify the best ideas, without ego. Sounds like you need a new partner.

I found it helps to pretend they’re your same age.

I try to pretend I am their age! Not working so far😉

Open to a new role more focused in the tech industry. Have nearly 5 years working in a top 5 Canadian bank.

Anyone have experience between choosing between an Industry position or making the final push (manager/SM level) for partner? How did you finally decide to go one way or the other and do you have any regrets?

I think I want to try someone new but am having a bit of paralysis in making the move knowing the income/ partner lifestyle that I could be passing up…

Open to any thoughts and advice.
