Have an offer from Amazon and have a final round with another big tech firm (my top choice) next week. However, Amazon needs an answer by EOD tomorrow. Offer is 60% higher from my current comp so no complains there but have concerns about WLB/company culture and missing out on this other potential ideal offer. Any thoughts?

Accept and continue the process with your No 1 firm. If you get lucky you will have a difficult decision to make :)

Assuming you can’t buy anymore time, it’s almost a no brainer to pass up on a (sounds like a good opportunity) for a potential one. And who says u can’t renege if the “dream offer comes”... you’ll be burning bridges majorly but u have to chase ur dreams and happiness. I did it and I don’t regret

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k.

I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
