Title shifts? I see a recruiter on LinkedIn saying the traditional titles are outdated. Maybe outdated is the wrong word. But if you want to up your availability to get jobs you need to look for other titles. Creative Director may be a Brand Creative Lead. And of course these roles may take on different new responsibilities. Anyone have any intel of some of these new titles. Other skills we need to bring? This “creative director” has spent a year looking.

They are trying to change the names because then they get to change the compensation since it does not have a level or an expectation.

If i polled 100 ppl in the industry and asked what an ACD made in Chicago with X Years of experience, i bet 80% of them woukd answer correctly in the expected salary band.

But if i make up fake titles like “Brand Creative Lead” or “Lead Content Creator” the there’s smaller salary history or little research that can get done.

When interviewing for the role, ask the recruiter what the traditional equivalent would be of that level. Because It’s a way to pay you less.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
