I'm crazy petrified of overspending a significant amount over a client's media budget. Have you or your agency ever done this? By how much and how did your agency handle it?

Ummmm no. There isn’t always magical budgets in reserve to save you. Read your agreements. Are you dealing w platforms? They don’t care you hit the wrong button.
Yes it’s happened and you’re conscientious for being concerned.

Talk to client. Communication is key. They always have funds tucked away for a great idea if it makes sense. Your strategy team can help convey the logic and sell it in.

Also have the account or finance team find savings from other projects

What would u do? 3 YOE HCOL city and I have 2 potential options:
1) move to a boutique healthcare strategy consulting firm in a similar role as I have now (client facing consulting role).. 120-130 base + 20% bonus
2) a product specialist role at Meta (FB). This told role product management, it’s analytics heavy. $107k base, 10% bonus, $30K stock.

At the end of the day, TC for both is similar. As far as exit opportunities I’m not sure what is better, so looking to get other people’s opinions.
