Has anyone else gone through this? Delayed period because of IVF stress? Or delayed period because of estrogen patches?

I have a CD title but swing between imposter syndrome and bitterness that I am underpaid/undervalued and want to hear from others if I would ever be taken seriously elsewhere. I make 108k/NYC at a non-agency “media company”. I have no prior relevant experience for this role, I just sort of fell into it. I draw storyboards, strategize, write scripts, make decks, direct shoots, art direct/set dress/food style shoots, am on screen talent/creator, etc. No direct reports. Been here 2 yrs. 😕

Has anyone been part of an agency downsizing and then had a difficult time getting placed again? Does it leave a huge black mark on you that you can’t get out from under? (41, female, Copy ACD)

I work at a small agency and spend my day regularly working on 3 accounts at once. Is this normal? I find it so hard to change gears creatively when going back and fourth between clients.

I’m fortunate to have a job, but damn. Working From Home = Working Forever From Everywhere. And it sucks.

My boss wants to know ballpark pricing (price per minute) for video agencies. Live action, motion graphics...any tips? In my experience it’s all over the place.
