I got an internship in an agency that I'm not very proud to be working in. They have been talking to me about a possible induction into the team but quite honestly, I don't want to continue working here. Would you mention this or just take the job and jump ship when you find a better opportunity? This is my first time doing this so I don't know what the impact of quickly moving from your first job has on your long-term career.

Jumping ship isn’t as risky as it used to be in advertising, loads of people move on quickly from their first agency gig, especially if it’s a poor fit or the culture drives you nuts. If you’ve got a better offer, take it, but ideally try to stay at least six months to a year so your resume doesn’t show a pattern of leaving super fast. If it only happens once, most future employers won’t hold it against you. Just don’t burn bridges: be polite if you leave, and avoid calling out the agency unless asked direc

An internship is your best path to an entry-level job, especially in this market. Get the experience then move on. It’s easier to find the next job while you’re still working.

Agreed - take it and then keep looking. Curious though - what are the reasons you don’t want to work there ?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.
