I was laid off in November but quickly found a new job. Despite the good salary, it's a step back career-wise and doesn't align with my long-term goals. I'm open to an ACD role for a better agency and brand. Any recruiters in New York open to chatting? A pep talk would help.

Not a recruiter but in this market be thankful you have a job and you found something so quickly. Lots of people are having to take steps back, to the side, pay cuts, and moving to industries they didn’t expect to move to. That’s what happens in an employers market. Try to make the best of it. Expand your scope, your discipline, use it as a way to improve parts of your leadership, etc. I’m also out of work but a mentor told me I need to this of this next role as a layover, not a destination. Try to ride out this wave, network, and up skill in the meantime so that when it shifts back, you’re ready! I hope this helps. And I understand the feeling.

Work in Pharma, and you will change your mind in the blink of an eye. The work is so soul-crushing, I‘d prefer stripping than touching another of these damn brochures 😪
