Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.
I have offers in the SDET profile.
Cohesity Inc is providing me MTS and @BlueOptima is providing SDET-1.
Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.
YOE: 2 years

i feel like that is fairly common for design firms/agencies/studios but not at advertising agencies. but yeah to me they have totally different functions
I 2nd this. Worked at a promotional design shop that labeled itself an ad agency and they had a similar career trajectory.
Designer > Sr Designer > Art Director (managed a group of designers) > Sr Art Director
I personally have never seen/heard of that. I’m with you, seems like two separate career paths and is odd to combine them.
It’s pretty common at design agencies, animation studios, production studios, even UX and any company that was built on that foundation. I’d even venture to say that ad agencies are abnormal in our liberal use of “Art Director”.
Like someone else on the thread said, it’s more for digital/design shops. I’ve been at shops that have this structure and it really only works if the work is much more focused on craft. If it’s advertising heavy it makes more sense to be separate tracks.
I thought this was the norm actually, but I've only been at one company so I wouldn't really know
Increasingly and sadly this is becoming the norm as more of the work is digital without real big ideas.
