So I got promoted! Yay! BUT It was definitely on the earlier end: the job hasn’t lived up to expectations set in the interview and they did it so I wouldn’t leave. I’m still open to sr cw positions (the work just isn’t good at current gig) so should I not update my LinkedIn? I don’t want to limit myself to acd positions b/c I don’t have a book that lives up to it yet. Will recruiters not reach out about sr jobs if I update to acd/ places not think I’m serious about sr jobs if I apply as an acd?

Yes, it’s far from perfect. But compared to walls of text I’ve seen, I didn’t find it such a burden to break down 4 sentences. At least not such a burden that I’d whine about it.

Also following, but I may just have imposter syndrome.

I think on LI you can put on your profile that you’re open to work and list specific titles you’re open to. This isn’t public facing other than for recruiters. Alternatively, you can update your title but not have your headline say the title. (Instead of ACD at X Agency, you just have it say Creative at X Agency)

After my first promotion, I had this same bitter feeling… that they’d promoted me to keep me from leaving. I was complaining to a friend about it and she very patiently said, “Yeah… that’s why companies give promotions. They pay you more money so you won’t leave.”

You’d be surprised what books can pass for ACD these days. I say update your title on LI and keep climbing. You earned it!

I’ve looked at the books of most writers at sr and acd levels at agencies and on teams I aspire to be on. I have a very clear understanding of where my works stands by comparison, which is why I’m trying to stay open to senior.
