Has anyone transitioned from ad agency to sales (or vice versa)? I love the pitching and client relationship aspect of my job and am increasingly disliking the other agency aspects. I also want to be in a remote role. Just wondering if I’m being naive since I haven’t worked in true sales but I’m beginning my research so open to any advice!

I do know people who have done this, and for them a lot of it came down to their network. In terms of your skills, you have proven that you can broadly handle sales and client relationships. A company would be working with you on the finer points of the role.

Did they stay in the network and do more like business development work or they moved on to different networks?

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take?

My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
