In a field where time on an account leads to valued deep relationships, how much of a setback is jumping to a new agency and starting cold with a new client? I really like my current client team, is a 30% bump in salary worth rolling the dice?

I just did this, and that’s the part I’m most nervous about. At the end of the day, though, I know I’m capable of building the same great relationships with new clients. I’m now in a position where I can provide much better for my family AND I have the opportunity to build more really great bonds with the groups I’ll serve.

in my experience, difficult clients mean more revisions and more hours spent working. get an idea of the work load at the new place. compare your time and how much it’s worth. an extra two hours a day and that 30% means much less.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
