I’d take it if you need it. Keep looking on the side, especially if it goes sideways, but it’s always easier to get a job when you have a job. And a paycheck is nice.
If you don’t need the work yet/can go another few months, then don’t take it.
Imo go with your gut
I’d say take it and keep looking, then leave when you find the offer you really want.
Take it and wait until you have something else. It’s easier to look for a job while employed.
Go with gut. Don’t settle. Put more irons in the fire. Good luck! 👍🍀
It really depends on how many interviews youve had, how many of those have lead to offers, and how much money youve got in the bank. I have a lot of confidence in my abilities and talent, but advertising is going through a real gutting right now, and---as much as most of the agencies and available jobs truly suck (in terms of what I think we all got in advertising to do every day)--- I guess the truth is most people are lucky to get them offered to us.
Which is a long way of saying--maybe you should take the job and keep up the hunt?
You might stay there for a year before you find something else you like and thats being offered to you.
If you need it, take it. But keep looking. And if you find something better in a month or two you don’t have to list it on your resume. But need > gut feeling. Always. Unless you don’t need the paycheck.
It’s probably just gas. I say settle!
Going through the same, and this is my criteria for a yes: If there’s a way to
1. Add good work to your book in the next year
2. Manage to last a year (meaning the people don’t seem like monsters)
3. Learn something while you’re there
Go for it. If there no way to make one of those things happen, keep looking. Good luck!
Thanks you guys. This is some solid advice!
I would try to figure out specific things that are making you nervous, and ask the interviewer about them.
