An old boss of mine was hired as cco of a consultancy- which he vows is transitioning into a creative space. I'd have to leave my cushy, mid level agency job for a managerial creative position. Wwyd?

I can say from experience- a consultancy will never be creative on its own - they need to buy an agency that stays fairly autonomous in order to do good work (Case in point Deloitte Digital is shit vs. Heat is an actual agency). If you’re going to run an agency they acquired, then do it, but don’t help them build something internally because they don’t have the incentives or perspective to understand the creative business. You’ll be designing PowerPoint slides and sitting in consultant meetings as the “token” creative and you’ll likely be tasked with sales goals.

The idea, as I'm told, is that I'd be the first hire on the team, under the new chief creative officer to help guide the process

That's a really good way of looking at it

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Is this a red flag?
