New job now wants me to have one direct report: Sounds like ACD stuff. Do I discuss salary adjustment? Or should I wait?

Also don’t senior people generally mentor and manage juniors? ACD manages more than 1 direct report...

Agree. And it’s a bad look if you seem uninterested in mentoring.

Senior Copywriters and Senior Art Directors oversee and manage juniors all the time. It’s how the juniors learn, and how the seniors get more work done. What makes you think only ACDs manage people?

Dont know. I havent seen senior with direct reps. Mentoring is one thing; a direct report is another.

Think of it as a test to prove you’re ready for a future promotion. They’re setting the stage for your future request. Give it like 8-12 months of showing how awesome you are with that responsibility. Unless you’re in a super rush for that promotion for whatever reason

Wait, because otherwise you’re effectively telling yr own management that something is above your pay grade — not a good look and they obv don’t agree

Hi everyone - thanks for the wisdom and advice. I wasn’t aiming for management, they just thought i was suited for the responsibility and mentioned it during a casual meeting. It caught me off guard, so I wanted to understand what it all entails.

Thanks for jumping in.

Do you have fellow scw in your agency that *dont* have reports?

How many reports aprox. ?

Do you suspect that your salary is a bit higher because of your reports?

When I was a Sr. writer, I pestered my boss for a chance to mentor more Jr. creatives. Do it with gusto and prove you’re ready to be an ACD.

Agree, but mentoring is different than direct report. Direct reports is mentoring AND management.

Also, more responsibility is a grey area: if you dont have it, you ask for it in order to advance in your career. If it is given, you make sure you arent taken advantage of.

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark?

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
