    I went through a similar struggle. And the same applied. After 5 years of design I would have to come in as a Junior AD, get my pay cut, etc. But it really came down to the work. I found myself liking identity and interactive design too much to leave it behind. Unless I did freelance of course.

    Advertising does pay more in the long run though. So if you're not hurting for $$ it might be worth it to tread water for a couple of years to establish yourself with the hope of advancing.
