What's best:
1. Well-known Agency, worldwide offices, this would be for San Fran location with a team of 80 people, big brands, smaller role (Jr Art Director)
2. Mid-size Agency (80-100 people), Miami, good clients, experienced leaders coming from bigger companies, growing agency, bigger role (Art Director)
Btw this is my first ever contract job coming out of Grad school, have only ever freelanced. The salary is good for both! Would love any suggestion thank you!
First off, congrats on getting an offer! I know it might feel stressful but it’s important to remember that this is an accomplishment!
Secondly, we work in an at-will country. You can accept and renege at any point, for any reason. However, be prepared to burn that bridge for a period of time - are you ok with that? I would say reneging after a week is far less egregious than reneging a week before the start date.
This, I’ve been in situations where I’ve been mentally prepared to renege because of timing, it’s part of job hunting, in my case, both the offers I thought I wanted came in too low! So I went with the original offer, just say yes, you can always say no later!
Are you on a time limit? I’ve heard of plenty of people just saying they’re still interviewing/applying and need time to make a decision
