You’re not dropping your team. When it’s time it’s time. All things change.

I keep telling myself that. Definitely true. I'm in need of a change. Not from the agency or people. From the vertical the agency specializes in. Feeling really heartbroken especially after the conversation I had today during my resignation.

It will be ok. They will be ok. Keep in touch with those who matter most and leave them in the best position you possibly can.

I left a really great team and It definitely hurts when you first leave... but a week into my new gig i found a new group of people and now have a new work fam.

I try and stay in touch with the old work friends but it’s definitely hard.

I know it’s hard when you leave a job for the first time for a new opportunity but change is the only constant in advertising. People and clients rotate all the time. If your old coworkers are meant to stay in your life, they will.
