I've been in a CD role for a few years now, but the company, the work, the clients, just aren't what I want anymore. Most days, I feel like an overqualified graphic designer.

Because the current CD role doesn't operate in a very traditional manner, I don't feel qualified for. I just feel stuck. I want something different, but I don't feel like the opportunities out there are a fit. Has anyone else been through this?

For me the alternative is having no job at all. Unfortunately, seems like this is the reality these days

Yeah, I went through that multiple times throughout my career so far. I think it’s relatively normal. Best advice I can give is to continue learning on and off the job where you can, and keep looking for the best fit.

Agree with ECD1. At this point, your excellence in discipline should be the baseline. Keep honing every thing else on the periphery. Client relationships, project workflow, avenues of opportunity, integrating other disciplines, etc.

Makes you a much better offering esp for the opportunities that you don’t deem a seamless fit. You don’t need the perfect one, just one and you can either grow into it or leverage it for something else.

Good luck OP. Happy to chat whenever.

I run an acct, but my favorite is working as a creative team on other accts. Jump in, rock some ideas, jump out. Don’t even have to present to clients. Love it.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
