What’s with every copywriter wanting to be a creative director. Can’t you be satisfied just writing instead of creative directing?

I have total 6.8 years of experience, Senior Consultant.


Now I have an offer from Mindtree, with Total CTC of 22 LPA,today is last day to accept the offer.

I know the appraisal is due in Deloitte India, letter will be released on June 26, my coach said my feedback was good, also scatterplot is good.

What should I do? Should I move on and put down papers or wait for appraisal results then search for opportunities.

I'm curious. How much actual design work does an art director do?

I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.
If I were to apply this thinking to the creative side of the ad world, what's the answer? Pharma and B2B? Leave the industry?
