Got an offer at another agency before going into production (it’s a few weeks out) with my current agency. Can I leave without burning any bridges?

Take it and tell them you need to finish out your production. They should understand as they wouldn’t want you to ditch them either. Have a convo with them

If youre gonna make the jump do it now. Dont wait further down the prod funnel or else youll really be screwing your team over

You owe it to the new job to start soon. If it’s a great job, they’ve got plenty of other candidates waiting. Your production will go on without you, and in a few months, someone will send you your spot. This will happen many times in your career, but not if you expect a company to wait a while so you can go on production. Make the move.

I imagine your current agency got along well enough before you started. They’ll be fine after you leave, too. Make sure to give at least 2 weeks, maybe 3 if you can get it from your new place. The agency and production will be fine

Unless your prod is like 3 months... of so then get out asap

Agree with GCD1 ☝🏼. Talk to the new job and let them know you’d like a different start date than the standard 2 weeks given this shoot

They'll be 100% OK without you and know that giving 2 weeks notice is 100% OK of you to do and fulfills your professional obligation. Do not lose sight of that. Now is not the time to shrink or play small. Also, there's no way you're happy at your current place if you went out of your way to look for and land another job.

Your first obligation is to yourself. Ask your new agency if there is any flexibility on your star. You can give them a general rationale - e.g. you want to give your current place as much transition support as possible. Be abundantly clear that the new agency / role is your priority. To my first point, as wonderful as you current agency might be, if they are anything like most businesses, they will always prioritize their needs above yours. 4th quarter, and even December, layoffs happen all too often in agencies This is especially true for holding company shops vs. independents. And congrats - you’re obviously good at your job and have heart.

It’s a great job and a huge raise. I’m happy where I am, but it’d be tough to turn down. I’m just scared of people thinking I’m a flake.

Tell them you have to finish production. I had a production 6 months out. Finished it out, then jumped the day it shipped. The agency waited.

I’m a first year and fucked up big time. The client doesn’t know about this but a senior associate was furious.

When I apologized to him, he was really salty. Since then, my heart drops every time I see his email bc I’m too scared. He is usually pretty emotional and his instructions are vague, which doesn’t help.
