I got an offer, a once-in-a-lifetime offer that I can’t pass up. Any advice on how to break the news to my current CW? We were hired at our current and previous agencies as a team. How will this effect them in their current role (besides needing to find a new partner)?

We are both (newly) at the senior level.

My partner a long time ago, he called me and was honest about how it wasn’t me, it was him, and he wanted a change of scenery, it was a better agency, in a different state, a chance to grow, etc. I was bummed. But excited for him. Best thing he did was be honest. It was fine. If you respect each other all will be well. Also, I’m way more awarded and regarded than him now, so…fuck him. Serves him right.
