I’m feeling a bit disappointed a script didn’t get selected by the client. But I also feel guilty for feeling this way because I also want to feel happy for the team that won. Any advice on how to not get shaken up when your CD implied your concept was almost guaranteed to go forward?

Oftentimes, the client goes with the least creative option. Your script may have been too good.

Get used to it. Nothing is guaranteed. Even when something is sold it could die at any time until it gets made. And even then, it could get pulled.

That’s the job. People who do well tend to be people who realize that and see every rejection as a chance to make something better. It’s irrational and damaged. But here we are.

I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
