Any thoughts on moving from NYC to west coast? What was your experience like? Did you stay? Was it worth it?

Moved from NYC to LA and love. It's definitely a change of pace and overall just different even if you stay with the same agency. Meaning the Huge BK ofc is very different than our LA ofc. I'd say just from a life experience perspective, it's worth making the move. You can always move back to NYC.

I moved from LA to NYC and even though I like the east coast more I feel like the west coast is doing better work. The thing I missed most was having seasons.

It's the worst. Nothing to see here. Stay in NYC. We'll hold down the fort out here. Wouldn't want you to get a sunburn!

Move to SF. Hated the town, though I had a good time and was a creative high point. Never felt like I was home. Moved from there to LA, and I loved it. Not so much creatively, but the rest was amazing. Moved back here for the kids grandparents. Just need 3 more to die so I can move back.

^ Better work?... Not trying to be snarky, genuinely curious.

Hey folks. I’ve been in the game for about 17 years now, currently work at a large agency as a CD (Art). Im looking to change to a more operational role because it’s more or less what I spend my days doing now and I’ve grown to like it — keeping things on the rails, the organization, managing, etc. Anyone here ever make a jump and care to share? I want to start searching aggressively. Many thanks.

I’m in paid social at an agency and I’m absolutely miserable. Considering putting in my two weeks but I have nothing lined up. I have plenty saved for a couple months of rent but I’m paying for a wedding right now so I feel like I need to do at least something for income while I job hunt. How bad of an idea is this? 🥴 I’m trying not to act on my emotions but I want nothing more than to put in my two weeks TODAY.
