I work with an ECD that always wants very prescriptive images for scripts boards instead of images that sells a vibe/feeling. Like he wants a garden gnome on a tractor seat eating chicken wings. And of course I will have to spend some time to comp at a decent quality. It is even worse when he finds something exactly like he wants but the image sucks. How do I deal with this?

I have two job offers, one offers a salary of 61.5k and the other job offers an hourly rate of $27.65 with $41.48 for OT, as well as Sales Incentive Compensation Plan where the annual target incentive compensation is 42.86%. In other words, I could potentially receive quarterly bonuses that add up to around $24,650. However, that bonus isn’t guaranteed according to the offer letter and is contingent on my and my clients performance. Should I take the first job or second job?

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance.
