If I just got a job for a senior creative position at an okay indie agency, but then got an offer from an in house creative department for a CD role a month into my new role, would it be bad to take it? Is it a bit of a shit bloke thing to do?

It happens, someone joined my team as ACD and left for a CD position at a much better place after 2 months (I always thought they were too good to be working where I was)

Don’t do it for the title, but if it’s significantly more money at a place where you can continue to build your portfolio, hard to turn that down. A two month stint is easy enough to leave off your CV.

Disagree. If you are jumping around every 6 months it looks pretty suspect.

Take this two steps:
1 - do what is better for you, not the agency.
2 - read step 1 again.

I would say, do what you want to do. Jobs come and go.

Don’t even think twice. Apologize profusely, ask your current CD for advice, and go.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
