Go brand side! WLB - so great for moms. I’m at a brand and love it to death. Never felt this serene. After 15 year in advertising. Never coming back.

Choosing your brand is where the challenge is, making sure it’s right for you (like dating).
I recommend joining a brand you have a personal affinity with - 1. To get in the door, they will be intrigued and excited to hire fans/users/customers and 2. The job is that more fulfilling because you actually enjoy the brand and it will feel less like “work”/a chore

For sure! I’m a bit of a weird case but I can share my experience / what I know!

Agreed, two kids here, go client side. I miss the people, the culture and so many things about agency but my body and family can’t take it anymore. I don’t know how I did it looking back! I am not passionate about the brand I work for which does make it hard. I don’t enjoy huge companies and would caution against going Fortune 100. It’s a big adjustment just understanding how they operate and how many people are involved. The money is much better and you work much less. You can always use it as a bridge to something you love.

The Moms from my old job went to the client side from advertising.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
