I’ve been a Junior Art Director for the last 3 years, I worked at two different big name agencies and I received an interview opportunity at a smaller agency but for another Junior role…should I try and see how it goes or wait for a better Mid Level opportunity?

When’s ur next 1:1 ? I brought my interest up about 4 months before promo cycle. I had 1:1s every month and would continue to bring it up. It helps to compare what ur currently doing against their job description for mid level AD, that way it’s hard to say no to you cuz there’s no reason if ur p much doing the same thing as a mid.

You should absolutely NOT be interviewing for junior roles after 3 years. See if they’ll be open to hiring you at mid-level, otherwise look elsewhere.
