Are there jobs in advertising (or out for that matter) where taking vacation time doesn't feel bad?

Just take your time dude - if you feel bad that's on you. you gotta stop worrying too much about what people think of your own personal needs and boundaries, because they're gonna do what's best for themselves and frankly not care about what you think.

Don't play second fiddle to your own life, especially not over crap like advertising.

This used to be me. I totally get it. There's a lot of pressure when there's a ton of work to be done, but you don't want to risk having severe burnout. Take the time you need.

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position.

They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?
