This may be your answer but what is that

I’m not sure how that stacks up against Wall Street prep, breaking into Wall Street, or any other modeling courses. Of the 3, I’d say WSP is the most widely known and most commonly used as training

A little help please… 😓

I’m currently an AE who feels more like a Strategist and wants to pivot to a JS role. I’ve told the SLT at M&C Saatchi and they’re responding slowly (I’m now working hybrid roles on current projects/love the clients & people/got given a small pay rise) but they’re also telling me it’ll take time & it’s rare for an AE to become a JS.

However, I’ve potentially got a JS job offer with Anomaly (London). Do I stay and grow slowly, or do I go and get the role I want quickly?

It takes a long time lol.

Question about changing careers to be a therapist:
