What's the biggest jump in responsibility when it comes to titles? SCW to Copy sup? Copy sup to group copy sup? Group to ACD? I'm trying to figure out how far up this chain I want to go.

I’d say the jump to Group or ACD is when things start really heating up. While I have a supervisor title I am still the most jr member of my team and get to enjoy that sweet spot. However that’s not always the case. My previous role as a sr AD was a lot more involved (mostly because the sr members of my team weren’t very good managers) so be careful about climbing the corporate ladder

It varies a lot depending on how hands-on/supportive your manager is. When I got promoted from SrAD to AS, I felt no change until my manager left and the person who was hired in their place does way less which means I am doing way more.

The shift into an ACD role tends to be where you start becoming a real manager vs. a do-er and conversely when what made you good at your job ‘til that point, starts to balance out with leadership skills and management which is sometimes not a natural transition.

Obviously some agencies have different job descriptions and expectations but the above has held true in most of my agency experience (20+ years)
