We don't know how long this business will be sustainable, and your path to creative fulfillment within it can face a thousand roadblocks at any time/agency. My advice is also to cherish your balance and find creative fulfillment outside of the day job. You can control outside projects fully, you can use them to get better ad jobs, and they might open up different career paths outside of advertising altogether.
The best work life balance I had was at the shops that were made fun of creatively. And on the opposite end, the best creative shops I worked for had the worst hours/boundaries.
In the end, think about what really matters most to you. And if it’s creativity, can you find that outside of work so you don’t have to work 60-80 hour weeks pushing deodorant?!
Thankfully I don’t have an ego so I don’t care at all about what specific agency I work for as long as I can find enjoyment and growth in it.
I feel ya. Sadly I feel like you’re lucky to get 1 of the 2 these days, if either.
In my experience you pick two. Good money, good work or good hours.
