You’ll be back. Every talented creative I’ve known who went client side especially for the better tech companies comes running back within two years. Money’s good but the pressure to produce work that increases conversion is way worse or the opposite, you never get anything produced or at least anything that will get you your next job.

What do you mean by a strategic marketing role?

Like a VP of brand marketing reporting to CMO.

I’m interviewing to go client side. Hate to say it but the more I interview the more I realize how agencies don’t make sense anymore. For clients and employees. My opinion.

Can you speak more about this?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
