Go. Jump ship. Your job will be secure-ish.

What do you mean when you say secure-ish

Just be careful jumping in the current climate. Nothing is stable unfortunately due to COVID.

Agreed. The greater risk here is that they do it in-house ve going to consultants. Consultants will get canned ASAP.

So $$ is not the criteria but promotion is?

I am going to get a better pay there than what I am getting her

If thinking about security, likely in house position is better in recession than consulting. But it’s more about what you want to do long term and what kind of industry you want to be in. Do you want to be in consulting, in insurance industry, in security for related Fortune 500? Make your decision based on trajectory you want - not money or promotions

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
