Looking to connect with NYC based CDs. They say that you are the top 5 people you spend the most time with, and I'd like to make new friends with people who are like-minded and interested in career and personal growth. Maybe we can motivate and support each other! I'm always future-thinking and don't want to become stagnant! 👌

would love that, I’m still very new to the NYC scene!

Same! Always looking to meet new people here.

Would love to chat life and livelihoods. 46yo freelance CD/writer in Brooklyn. HMU, your account is turned off for DMs.

let’s all hang out!

Same! I’m down!

In all seriousness I’m looking for a cd writer partner. Mine left the city for a yurt in New Mexico and a lot of gigs want locals again.

Omg, I know a great CD writer in NY!

I have the same wish to connect with like-minded colleagues, but I am based in LA and San Francisco.

As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

How do you navigate a working relationship where someone in a different department but at the same director level as you consistently assumes seniority over you? The thing is they're great and can be an ally, but they're frequently shutting down the team's work and having a negative impact on the team's morale and output.

Suggestions for improving one’s creative strategy skills?

Hello creative directors. Today I learned about a situation at a well-known agency. A very senior account executive changed creative work in a deck, and that led to the work not selling. The creatives learned about it in the preso. What would you do in the situation? Would you go up against somebody way above you on the ladder? Going to the CCO apparently is not possible politically.

Do creative directors have to manage people?
I don’t like managing people, especially juniors who are still figuring out their career paths. But at my company, in order to be considered a leader, you have to manage people. I see myself as a leader, contributing ideas and strategy… I just don’t want to deal with developing performance goals and compensation. Is this the case everywhere? Can I be a creative leader without managing?
