I have a shoot coming up within the next two weeks. But I also just accepted a new job (with a semi flexible start). Do I tell my current job now, and just say screw it, I won’t go on the shoot. Or do I wait until the shoot ends and basically give notice the day after we wrap? Important factor - it’s not a shoot I’m particularly excited about. Very much not a portfolio project. I’d happily quit now, but want to avoid screwing over the team with so little time before this shoot.

Give notice now. It’s up to them if they still want to ask you to go on the shoot. You’d be will within your rights to decline going but I’d be careful, it’s a small industry so don’t burn any bridges.

Solid advice

agree. Be honest if your not excited about the shoot and its a straight forward shoot they may not want to put you in front of the client and use it as an opportunity to introduce your replacement or they may still want you to finish up the project but point is your leaving the ball in there court giving them options rather than screwing them over rushing to find coverage or the bad look of putting you in front of client only for you to leave. Point is, your timing is flexible and you can work with them towards a plan that works for everyone and not burn a bridge.

Give notice now for sure

Give notice and do the shoot fully committed like you didn’t give notice

Why does it seem like there are two types of creatives...

The chill one with the most relaxed approach where they almost come off monotone.

The one who has too much energy and noticeable anxiety.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
