I m 48 and thinking about moving to a different city because I like the work of an agency I’ve been talking to much better than what I am doing now. Salary is not much higher. Am I crazy?

Don’t move until you’ve signed the contract. Also, are there other agencies/prospects in that city if the job doesn’t work out?

Doing what Senior Copywriter suggests is very smart...

Do it, then update this thread about how much happier you are! I need the inspiration.

I recently made a similar move. New city. New agency. New faces. More interesting work possibilities. I’m thrilled. The change of scenery rekindled a creativity I haven’t felt in a few minutes. One thing that really helped was that I’ve made a point to go out at least once a week and do something interesting (concerts, art exhibits, sporting events, film festivals, sightseeing, photography, etc.). Good luck!

They all have their positives and negatives. I’m getting to the point where I really think the city is what you make it and what makes sense from a financial standpoint. Everything else is pretty relative.

Go for it

Do it! That's the best way to try a new city out. And just by starting a new job, you can make connections and expand your network.
