Are there any major differences in expectations / responsibilities / salaries between Senior Strategist and Associate Strategy Director roles? I've seen ASD and Director openings vary in agencies.

Can I request for a different role in the same team after getting an offer? Context - Team in GCS I have got an offer from has a new opening for a different role that seems more interesting. Do I need to go through entire hiring process (specifically HC) again?

Tips to stay motivated and cut procrastination? I started a new client side job remotely a few months ago at the beginning of covid.

Things are not as fast paced or as exciting as agency side, but I have also been dragging out tasks due to procrastination and just feeling lost. How can I do better?
