so apparently, I have too much experience for roles requiring 1-2 years of experience but also have far too little experience for 3+ year roles (ive been at my current job for 3 years) 😭😭

Are people telling you that? Is the hiring manager saying that?

Look at the responsibilities and details of jobs, pay no attention to the years. We care way more about ability than years at my company

Do you get interviews with the hiring manager? How are you getting the feedback?

I’m experiencing something similar (different years though). I am a Black woman as well though. Can’t say that’s not a factor but I also think job searching is a joke especially right now. It’s amazing to me how I can’t even get an interview. I’m disgusted at this point. I’m trying to reset

I used to think job searching was a joke in general too in this current climate, but everyday, literally everyday; I see someone on LinkedIn that’s yt passing get a promotion or getting hired.

It’s at the point that classmates that were younger and less skilled (not being a hater) are getting higher position roles than me. It literally hurts my soul because being a creative is all I ever done and wanted to be in life and I know for a fact my skin color and cultural bias is holding me back as well as the black women in this thread.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
