I don’t want to be in advertising (or any form of marketing/client side/etc) in the long run. I can’t fathom doing this for 40 more years, let alone 3 more years.

Anybody else considering an exit from the industry? Honestly I want a job where I’m up on my feet, actually physically DOING things versus sitting at a desk, answering emails, etc all day 🥺 Where can an account person go that isn’t so corporate and desk-bound?

Event management

Start your own events company. Maybe real estats

I wouldn't walk away from it completely. It pays well right?

It sounds like you need a break. I'd put in my 2 years and then take off somewhere like Taiwan or Japan for a year and teach English or something. Then come back fresh and get back into it.

The ability to do that all depends on if you got kids wife debt and what what. But if you don't , I'd say just do that.

Following from the PR side…

I’ve been going between advertising, PR and events management for years now. The thing about events is that it doesn’t mesh super well with family life (often outside office hours) but it’s so much fun.
