I've spent the last two years as a senior copywriter, and been closely working with my ACD. I think I feel ready to take the next step and prepare to be one myself. There are times I even feel like I am able to come up with better solutions and plans than my ACD. However, I'm constantly hit with doubt about whether I've earned it yet, or if I've put in enough years to progress in my career. How many years do you think one should be a senior copywriter before climbing up the ladder to be an ACD?

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it. If I genuinely seethed with envy over their wit w/that perfectly placed semi-colon. People can’t re-art direct stuff bc they don’t know the programs so they ask the ADs for changes. Word and a keyboard made everyone think they can write. Which they can’t. Google Slides is Google slip ‘n slide into (bad ref. here.)
