If you can...take a week to relax. Don’t send resumes. Don’t search for jobs. Enjoy the city. Get your head straight. And then hit it hard when you’re rest.

It’s difficult to get out of that negative mindset, but it’s worth the effort

Sometimes not doing anything about looking for work is a nice break from getting no responses or rejections from looking for work. Sometimes i even take a trip - do something fun for a few days and then come back less anxious

My advice? Find a new industry. Advertising is dying, especially agency advertising. Get a client side job or move out of advertising completely and leave this steaming pile of shit behind you.

I’ve been though lay-offs a few times. In this business it’s hard not to. That said, although you don’t feel good now (understandably), get back up, dust yourself off and get back in the game. While you’re looking, get plenty of exercise (along with mood boosting endorphins) and take care of yourself. Treat looking for a job as your job—meaning get up every day by 7 and be at your desk by 9. Work from your library or local Starbucks to mix things up. But watch out for your stuff like your computer, they tend to go missing easily. Hang in there and good luck.

We are hiring an AE.

Hi all,
Please help me understand if I should accept this position or not?
I was working as a regular staff therapist for 2 years at an assisted living when just 2 weeks back the HR approached me with an offer to work at a newly opened senior living, so basically I will helping them set up that location from scratch, open it and get it running. For doing all this they have not even clearly offered me a promotion, raise or a change in position. What should I do?

Please help🙏🏻

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I’ve also been proposed a Manager position at a consulting company in my home city, with potential of bigger salary thanks to bonuses. Culture seems good... But I’m sure it’s gonna be a hell lot of work.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?
