Do you want to get out because it’s a) not creatively satisfying enough, b) future is too unstable, or c) don’t like the environment? All those things can send you in different directions to find a better fit.

Personally, I’d look around to industry adjacent careers that hopefully you have transferrable skills for. Beyond that it’s just going to be a fresh start depending on what you’re into?

B and C, if I had more stability and a less pressure- filled work environment, I’d have the time and space to find creative fulfilment in my personal life.

Not sure what type of creative you are but I wrote these a while ago as considerations for ADs / CWs
