LA is very saturated with designers who are decent enough to be an AD, and ADs who are decent enough to be a CD. Add to that the fact that ad budgets for FY '10 are down significantly still, and you're looking at a competitive market in which firms and companies are hiring people at lower rates.
That being said, if you have a solid folio, can make the right connections and get in at the right shop, then you may be lucky.
- I think the skillset for CD is alot different than AD.... CD has to motivate people, sell ideas to clients without watering it down....vaxorcist
- True, but I've worked for very talented ADs who could easily step into that role.luckyorphan
- Already had their fellow designers and mad chops...all that was needed was the keys to the car.luckyorphan
