I don’t know. I apply for both SR CW roles and ACD roles, and am told “you should be an ACD” or “what makes you think you’re an ACD” pretty regularly. No one knows what they’re talking about. You just gotta convince someone that you do.

Yes. Consider freelance as well. ACD get more recurring, permalance work. CDs, while getting great day rates, tend to be brought in just for big pitch work, then swiftly kicked out.

PLEASE DON’T. I’m trying to get one myself, and for gods sake, actual ACDs need to be leveled up to CDs, not you old ass CDs slumming it as ACDs.

I agree with CD1. This reply is bad.
