The industry no longer offers the kind of wages that warrant a move IMO

The lack of job security further complicates things, too. Especially if you’re in a serious relationship. So my partner is supposed to quit her job, so we can move across the country. All for a job, which could potentially be eliminated within a year? No thanks.

That’s what I’ve done, but I’d rather not have had to. I guess that’s the advantage of just starting in a major market like NYC to begin with.

No, most people can’t, which is why most agencies are in NY and regional agencies suck.

You either commit to NY and hop around, or you jump to a smaller city, your kids start school, and then do whatever it takes to not get fired. Cool system!

Did the same. Bounced between New York, Miami, and LA over the past 15 years. Don’t really want to move again, though.

Start in a big city, bounce around the big city and work your way up. When you’re feeling done with the big city for whatever reason, or if the big city is done with you, move to a smaller market with multiple options (for example outside Philly, or outside Miami Ft Lauderdale) and use your big city experience to keep you going for the rest of the time.

Most companies aren’t offering compelling enough relocation packages to move your entire family (especially if your spouse would also be completely uprooted and lose their income).

Do not move to a smaller town with only one or two options and low funnel work. Thats when you screw yourself. Once every few years ai get an offer to move to Jacksonville or Tallahassee. F that. Not moving my whole situation for zero back up plan of and when it doesn’t work out.

I can’t believe that some of the smaller markets like Louisville, and Columbus, OH, and places like that haven’t embraced remote more. They could get such great talent if they’d just embrace remote.

Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me. Most of our friends have kids who are able to mask up or are vaccinated and it’s getting quite isolating. Especially now mask mandates are being lifted feeling like we can’t go anywhere without risking our kid.

I got an offer in industry! Feeling excited but at the same time very confused. It’s a good offer that I don’t want to pass up but also feel extremely bad leaving during busy season. Is a 3 week notice enough? Do I let this opportunity go and just hope something will line up down the road ? Thoughts ?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
