How long are you typically on the phone each day? My phone time has steadily increased throughout the pandemic to around 6 hours per day

All day. It’s planning season.

I finish one deck and while it’s being presented, I’m already working on the next 🥲

I actually ran the numbers last year. In the early months of the pandemic my meeting time tripled. By around this time last year (when I was still 100% WFH) it was running at between 20-100% more each month than I'd logged in the same respective months of 2017-2019.

A year later, it still feels higher than in-office, but equally now when I do go into the office I often have meetings for a fair chunk of the day, so my in-office days don't reflect the rest of the week that well.

does it spark joy?

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
