I've been in for 3 and my past schoolmates have gotten senior roles and one an ACD. Personally think that's major BS.

yeah i would say 5 years experience unless you want constant skepticism from your peers

it could be 10+ years if you have mediocre talent and a fraction of that time if you're wildly talented. which are you?

4-5 years if you're good. 6-7 if you aren't. Digitas always seemed really stingy with titles to me.

Agree with FCB1: 5-7 years. But it also depends on what you do and where you are. As a general tip, if there's an agency you're interested in, check out their job board. They'll almost always put "minimum years of experience required" under the roles they post. It's also easier to rise at a smaller or lesser-known shop where you can stand out. At some bigger global agencies, it's significantly harder — unless you're an all-star. Or just really good at bullshitting.

Made senior copywriter after less than 3, which sounds fast, but had senior-level responsibilities since pretty much day 1 so.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
