CD with good work from reputable ad agencies takes a ECD role at a PR agency because of leadership opportunity and $$$. Bad long term?

Yep. PR has no idea what to do with Creatives. It won’t end well. Source: worked at a PR agency for 5 years. It was an uphill battle the entire time and nothing ever really got solved.

A good book and strong agency background doesn't just disappear because you take a PR gig. If it doesn't work out you can always fall back into ad world, only now with the benefit of ECD experience.

Take the money, take the experience. You might love it. If it doesn't work out give it 18 months and get out.

If your gut says don't do it then it's probably for a reason and don't do it. But otherwise go for it.

Yes. Pr historically doesn’t understand an idea when they see one and it will be very hard to get through good clean work.

If your work is “good” just take it. Get paid

But yeah, it’s not a great idea if you care about great work

Long term probably not. Short term, woof. I hope you like shoveling shit

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
