Honestly, we love a boomerang. Take the job, but make sure you don’t burn any bridges on the way out. Keep your relationships in case you want to come back. You might learn some valuable skills. 18% isn’t insane but I also can’t say I wouldn’t take it.

Great advice. Definitely not going to burn any bridges, just time for a change

Follow your heart. Ask yourself if this is what you enjoy. Everyone has different personalities, I enjoy boutique company a lot, it’s a lot easier for me to connect with everyone and anyone.
