I'm a copywriter changing agencies next week. Today they made an offer to my GF, an art director. It's a huge step up for her, different clients, but I still have mixed feelings. Any advices?

I know and I am happy for her. In fact, I know the ACD who hired her and vouched for her. But I never worked together with a girlfriend before, and behind all the happiness, hiding all the way in the back, there are some worries. It should be ok, right?

I met and worked with my husband at an agency. Put up boundaries when in the office.

I found it helped because there was no having to give context when talking about crazy days at work. In your case you need to be on the same page about telling people you are already a couple.

If the agency is mid-large size you probably won’t encounter each other than much anyway.

Mixed feelings in regards to what? Working together? Her clients?

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
