Think about what type of clients you want to work with and what type of mission you want them to have. That has always helped me in the past!

Consider the type of audience you want to be targeting. Even within PR/marketing/communications have different audience and expectations: Are you looking to work with journalists/land some cool stories? Do you want to focus into the sales funnel and craft company messaging + SEO? Would you rather talk with internal stakeholders or executive team to craft their own sphere of influence and messaging?

Hi All,

But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..
