After over two decades in advertising I’m considering leaving the agency world for a job at a creative consultancy. It pays less but I’m excited about the work and the company (and it’s fully remote.) Curious, at this point in your career would you trade a higher salary for a better experience? And how much would you be willing to compromise?

I’m 30 years in. Long as I can still cover my mortgage, feed myself, and have health insurance, I’d take the better experience in a heartbeat.

What would your job entail at the CC versus agency?

I did that and I’m just getting back k to where I was salary wise four years ago. It’s great at first but that hit to the bank account sucks (I took a 25% haircut). It’s a killer creative shop and I’ve had recruiters knocking on my door for jobs that are in the 300k range, far more than I ever made before. Was a finalist for two of them.
