Hi folks - I’m a little over 5 years into Strategy and at my second agency now as a Senior. Though I love the work, the work life balance has been a bit of a challenge. While I’ve considered going in-house, I find that Im a natural at connecting people and have wondered about pivoting towards Creative Recruitment. Has anyone ever made such a pivot? Any advice on where to start with working on the skill set, how to pitch yourself for a role within an agency setting, etc. Thank you in advance!
