Current in early stage VC for 6 month and have been hating it since month 1 but didn’t feel I can leave because of my visa, as due to apply for settlement in June (I.e. in 5m). I m hating it every day as the team is toxic and I really don’t enjoy the job, but switching jobs 5m before settlement and needing to repay the visa fee (£5k+) sounds like a very suboptimal scenario. Any advice on the best course?

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?
