I am very pessimistic due to the sheer number of people asking me to help find them a job. I’m an empath so it’s tearing me up. Recruiters who I know who normally make one placement a month are now down to 2 placements since March of 2023 which is where this actually all began, not the last quarter as. It seems.

I'm resigned to the idea that work isn't coming back for creative agencies until commercial impact increases. Which might not be until 2026, depending on how things in media shake out.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
