Lol you know it. I have an awesomely comfortable rug in my home office and wind up on it staring blankly at the ceiling all the time.

Too relatable 🤣

There are times I'll daydream about all the coincidences that led to me winding up where I am. Why did I decide to go here or there? Or what if a meeting with someone hadn't gone well? And on and on.

Do you have any regrets? I kind of do… I transitioned into this industry after being in HR. I kind of miss it to be honest and recruit my decision.

Yes! I hate days where my calendar is jam packed with meetings - makes it hard to make progress on my own projects :(

Same… this is almost everyday for me. Most days are double booked too. It’s just my manager and I tackling tons of meetings everyday and too burnt out to actually do the work at the end of the day

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career. Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.
