After working as a Creative for 17 years, I’m starting to feel that it’s time to leave adland. Any advice on which companies to pursue? I’m ready to stop chasing metal and start chasing stock options.

I was an ad CD and went brand side. Aim for companies you genuinely love.
Some might have prejudice against your agency background (impression: expensive, needs a team of 20 people to do one little thing, not interested in the business side of things, values aesthetics/creativity over effectiveness...)
So showing you have a deep passion for their brand will take you a step further.

As a third year experienced associate, I am up for promotion this year. I know for a fact that all the managers and directors whom I have worked with are very supportive of my promotion. I had perfect snapshots with performance differentiators. But my utilization and over time has been lower than the required metric. It was around ~82% and only ~150 hrs of over time. Should I still be hoping for the promotion or should I start looking out for better opportunities?

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

I’ve spent 4 years in Big 4, with about half that time in FDD. I feel like Corp Dev is what I ultimately want, but am wondering if a stint in banking could be worth it. If I’m not interested in PE or other buyside alternatives, is the pit stop in IB worth it?
Mainly wonder if IB is a must have box to check, or if you can work your way up the ladder without.
