Advice pls - On a v. toxic team, miss being a CD, have an opp from a small tech platform in creative strategy. Worth it or should I aim for a true ad creative role? More potential in tech or agency?

That depends on what you want to get out of it, doesn't it? The greatest potential is the one that best aligns with your interests and passions. If it's building a team and a brand, maybe the tech startup is the right fit. If it's being in an agency and doing ads, maybe it's not. Good luck, either way!

I think the culture of a place and being free of a toxic environment is most important to me. So that's a part of it. I miss the visual aspect for sure, but ideation is key for me. Thanks for the luck!

For me at least, UX and creating something innovative and useful/usable is more interesting than getting a sales message about a product out in this over saturated media environment. And my friends in tech are *much* happier and well paid than my friends in advertising. Even if what they do is not “sexy”- it feels good to make a useful product. Also, all the places I’ve interviewed in the ad world seems miserable, especially in holding cos.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
