Hi everyone,
I have been at the agency (big name) as a junior for 3 years, and now have an offer at a local tech company for almost x2 more money, but a design position. So there’s quite a change. Wondering if I switch for at least a year (just to see if I like it), how hard it might be to go back to ad world?
Did anyone have similar experience or has any advice?

I’ve always chased the money and it’s never done me wrong.

Went from $55K to $65K to $80 to $120K in five years.

Had fun at every place and it was a variety of work (not all agency).

Try it!

Go for it! Having pure design experience will only help you as an art director. Also, take the money. That’s how you move up. Congratulations!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
