Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

For context: 10 years in the biz, all in nyc only though. I’ve worked at Madison ave shops, indie shops, and even turned down a generous offer at a “top 3 NYC agency” this past Jan.
I’m happy because my agency fits my personality. It’s farrr from perfect but I have a voice and I’m allowed to be myself vs. mold to a formula. I could care less about awards or being a “twitter famous strategist” because the work I make permeates your group chats and provokes discussion.
At the end of the day, my goal is to have work/life balance with fair pay, avoid pseudo-BS strategy conversations, and make work that people will actually talk about. Right now I’m getting that and I’ll leave when I don’t.
Droga, Wieden, and then whoever is flavor of the month.
Absolutely love Golin. Started right when covid-19 escalated and I feel lucky to navigate the craziness with them. They care and they have incredible talent and leadership.

Loving, Havas. Working in the HOV and the most important think is having great bosses and good colleagues. It's all about the people, cliche but true
I also love Havas. Mostly because of the people- I’ve never had such collaborative, friendly, and funny coworkers who I *actually* consider friends. I also feel very comfortable pitching new ideas and approaching leadership here, which I can’t say for previous agencies.

🙋🏻♀️ Not perfect - no company is - but yes, I’m happy. Why? Mission-driven agency (healthcare); strong representation of women/working moms in leadership which I’ve never seen in 15 years of agencies before this; genuinely eager to do the work to make the agency continuously better.
