I need sound advice please. What should I do without 🔥 bridges

3 weeks ago, I officially accepted a (remote) job, same position+6k raise. I like their values and work they do in tech and experiential.

While wrapping up my old job, I was still interviewing at other agencies and finally moving to offer stage (ill get a promotion + 15k raise). Agency has core values that match mine and better benefits with summer Friday's off 😎

LA is mad expensive and it's time for me to climb the ladder.

While I usually agree with the more money route, I would also be conscious of the type of client(s) you'd be under - are they likely to continue/keep spending if SHTF with economy? Just uncertain times now and it will be even more expensive if you end up getting let go!

Outsider perspective but if the difference between same job and promotion is 9k, you’re probably getting rinsed by the new agency offer.

Rinsed? I don't know that lingo but it sounds terrible

I’d go with the higher offer and promotion. Companies fire at will wo worrying about burning bridges. Do what’s best for you!

Backing out of signed offers happens so much right now and though it stings on the offer-given side, it's not a bridge-burner like it used to be.
