Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).

Also what stage in life are you in? Are you wanting to get married, have kids soon? Work life balance is really crucial. If you’re not at that family stage yet, accomplish as much as you can before, so when it’s family time you can focus on that.
And what about kids? Will you wait?

Honestly, both sound like great opportunities. This lies on you and who you’re most excited to work with and learn from.
Take the one that isn’t anomaly, Droga or JL. Although, by your description of great creative and great creative leaders, it’s not anomaly. If wk is one of the options, choose that and don’t think twice. The other sounds like bbdo. Which could be a good thing if you want the WLB.
I would consider which would meet my needs now vs long term, and determine what my current priorities are. I personally would choose great wlb and creative freedom. But you center lose either way, congrats on 2 great offers!
I honestly don’t think you can make a wrong decision here. And I’m jealous as hell, hahaha.
My motto has always been to go where you feel wanted. It sounds like you’re really wanted in two places. Pick the place that you will regret turning down the most. Fast forward to six months from now. Which of the two places will give you the most “what if’s?”
Personally it sounds like Agency 1 would be able to launch you from a great position into an amazing one. But you have to do you.
Would also have to note that there’s a disparity between the creative process from both agencies - one is more templated, one is free-to-mold your creative self. But both guys are equally great and big names in their own right. The creatives as well, A2 has older people, ones with families. A1 has younger creatives, but really big name leaders from CDs to ECDs whose intent is to nurture young creatives.
