Am on day 3 of a new senior gig I’m very excited about, however finally got an email to interview for another senior position at the dream agency/team I’ve been networking/emailing with for months.

Feel a bit dirty even interviewing taking the call as I just joined…but also who am I to turn down an opp? What would you do?
