Know anyone who’s pivoted out of advertising into something totally new? What did they pivot to? Or what do most people pivot to?

I struggle with thinking of something else I’m good at sometimes

Lots of people do. A few threads on here about this. And on LinkedIn I saw this: https://www.adbreakout.com
Just think about what makes you happy and pays the bills. I sometimes wish I was a carpenter or tattoo artist or interpol.

I know of at least three people all who had different roles in advertising who went back to school for interior design in the last two years and have no regrets. Difference is they’re married to people who I’m sure make decent money so the pay cut doesn’t affect them as much.

The top 10% of interior designers in NYC make $104k. Generally you can be a mid level role in an ad agency and make around that much, so if the top performers in that industry are barely making that generally yes I’d say compensation is lower. I’m sure there could be exceptions.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
