Hoping to get some thoughts on career path?

I left an agency about 1.5 years ago (content manager and prev social) to go in house (copywriter). Long story short, agency wants to offer me a senior director role. However, this isn't client facing and would be marketing for the agency itself.

I left to focus on writing. I love the company where I'm at now. The agency is small compared to my current company, but the title could be helpful later. Thoughts?

Marketing for the agency itself doesn’t really seem like fulfilling work! Not sure how long I’d be able to last.

Not sure how the title is helpful if you’re not making meaningful work. Maybe you’ll have a creative director title, but you’ll be competing for jobs with people who have both the title and the work

Do you not smell the bs??

They're dangling the "senior" title hoping you'd fall for it.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
