Dear (agency name),
Thanks for your interest in this Creative Director, but I’ve decided to move forward with other agencies whose clients, work-life balance and benefits are a better match for my needs. I wish you success on your search, Me

YESSS. Love it.

What script do you think this is flipping? You have always had, and will always have, this option. IMO you will make less cool work and have fewer career options over time. But if that trade off is cool with you, perfect. There are plenty of places to work out there that are quieter and easier.

This ECD is triggered because they’ve sacrificed their entire life for a job and don’t understand how someone could prioritize their actual lives over work.

If you don’t have any recognizable work in your portfolio by your mid thirties it will be very difficult to get paid a decent rate/salary beyond that point. That takes dedication and hard work to achieve consistently in any profession. Good luck to us all.

Yup. It’s different for everybody.

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
