I’m at a subset of a big name agency, but not getting the opportunity to work on projects with a high level of creativity. I’m in interviews with a pretty much non-recognized agency but I would be getting to do much more creative work. Would you: hold it out at the big name agency and keep pressing for projects? Or make a move to the place where you’ll get to make more work.

You need to be at an agency that’s doing great work. Sometimes you have to hustle to get on the right account or project. But you need to be at the right agency.

I worked at big name agencies and no name 5 person coworking space places and I’ve always followed the creative work. The portfolio matters much more than the name.

I’m at the small agency. I think it’s probably a grass is greener thing, however I’ve been able to lead and own more work than I would at my level in a big agency.

I am finding myself without proper mentorship and itching to work on big clients, so I’m going to a big agency.

Good perspective from the other side, thank you!
