If you came from more of a design house into advertising, how many of you would go back? Is it better to stay in advertising?

Stay in advertising. Please, for your own sanity.

No, I’m serious. The design world feels like a nightmare to me. Maybe it’s just been my experience, but I’ve found almost everyone but the designers to be...how to put this nicely...less talented at their jobs than their ad agency-side counterparts.

A few weeks ago someone on here said it feels like watching someone try to cut a piece of wood with a hammer while you try to hand them a saw and they’re yelling “there’s no time for that!” at you. Best description I’ve ever heard.

Advertising pays better, at least for me. My first job was in-house for six years and they grossly underpaid me. I think about going back in-house later in my career, since the hours are better. I do miss having that ultimate control over a brand. It was challenging in different ways.

I was recently promoted to a new position at my company. I'm so excited to be taking on this new challenge, but it's not going as well as I had hoped.

I've been given a lot of responsibilities, which is great. But I don't feel like any of them are being prioritized or delegated appropriately. I'm getting a lot of pressure from my manager, who is quite demanding and doesn't seem to understand that I need time to get things done and learn new skills.

Lots of respect for the staffers at Spotify if they end up walking out of their jobs for something they believe in. That said what a sad mess we have gotten ourselves into when we try and censor every dissenting opinion as hate speech, especially when Joe Rogan has exhibited more journalistic value than most major news networks.
