Account guy here in need of some advice. Been at current big agency for 5 years and it’s time for change. Options are 1) smaller agency, well known global client, stacked team and the other is 2) big agency, well known domestic US brand that recently switched to this agency, lean team. Pay/ benefits for both is comparable. Q: does moving big to small agency negatively impact growth potential/ opportunities across the industry?

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
