I’m at a subset of a big name agency, but not getting the opportunity to work on projects with a high level of creativity. I’m in interviews with a pretty much non-recognized agency but I would be getting to do much more creative work. Would you: hold it out at the big name agency and keep pressing for projects? Or make a move to the place where you’ll get to make more work.

Unpopular opinion for an SM: I enjoy the strategic, problem solving (whatever that may be: decks, implementation, etc) & team building parts of consulting but I absolutely hate the meetings & client-facing side. I just want to be the SME fixing stuff and don't want to deal with anything else.

Would you ever leave government for the private sector? I’m in a position where I may be offered a job that pays much more and offers unlimited time off, but I’d be giving up the stability of a government job and the pension.

On the bench and projects are very tight. I am actively looking in cyber. Anyone hiring?

I finished the recruiter, and hiring manager interviews, both went very well. The hiring manager wants to fly me to their location to “show me the site” but I haven’t heard back for almost a week.

I am currently an EA in a government law office - so I’m considered a “Legal Administrative Assistant.” I not only support the chief/department head, but I I’m EA & paralegal for all of the associates too. I had a baby in February and was completely unpaid because my county doesn’t offer disability or paid FMLA. So I’m looking. None of the EA jobs I’ve applied to have liked my experience - even if it’s not for c-suite. Anybody know how I can market myself properly in the private EA world?
