Hi, I know you’ve seen a hundred of these but bear with me. I’m trying to move to Dubai from the US (which right now is a rough market for marketers) and I’d love an honest gut check. Is July/August actually dead this year, or has the war shifting travel patterns thrown the usual summer slowdown out the window? I’ve been to Dubai, I know the market a little, and I’m just trying to time this right. Any read or advice would mean a lot.

Does anyone run a business in addition to their firm? I’m a solo and I’m doing pretty well with about 60-70 billable hours a month. Though that leaves a lot of downtime. Curious if anyone has any second businesses that require about 20 hours a week. Not looking for passive income or franchise ideas though.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
