Been a Sr. for the past 3 years. Have been at my current company coming up on 2 years. My most recent team I was placed on 5 months ago didn’t put me on campaign and tactic concepting on for the only client I work on. I’m 1 of 2 art people. I’ve asked for these opportunities 2 months prior to k/o. All my prior experience and education has been heavily focused on concepts and digital but don’t get utilized for my strengths.

Do I leave? Wait it out a little longer and stay until I hit 3 years?

Definitely start looking. Never wait around for a place to get better because 9 times out of 10 it will only get worse.

It’s a really bad time to be looking for work in the industry right now. So many people have been laid off that would kill to have your job. Stay put and look around. Don’t be surprised if you can’t find an opportunity right now, though.

Talk to your manager about what you want to be working on…but it doesn’t hurt to look around.

I have multiple times but still no opportunities

Trust your gut but in the big picture, 3 years is not that long to keep same title IMO. Especially if only 2 years were at your new gig. If your like your job outside of promo not happening i’d prob sit tight and ask where you can improve or take on more responsibilities to show you’ve arrived at the next level/title.

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel.

Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake.

We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
