For recruiters and Creative Directors!
What is ONE major decision factor when interviewing an Art Director? What are some "turn offs?"

Been working 60-70 hour weeks for a few months straight, stress and workload of my current gig is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Once I missed my second period in a row due to stress (took multiple pregnancy tests and talked with doctor) it was my breaking point. Have an interview on Monday for a lateral move with a $20k raise. Part of me worries I’ll jump ship to the same thing again, part of me is like, eh at least it’s more money and a fresh start?
