In between jobs atm but have a freelance opp at MRM McCann. Know they’re going through the merger but I’m hoping to make this a FT gig. Should I keep looking or take what I can get ?

Only you know the variables but I’d say take it…if you are thinking FT at all…it’s brutal out there. Also, it’s not a merger…it’s an OMC acquisition and they are going to decimate a lot of roles in the near future starting with back office, senior leaders, and non-billables/low utilization—not to mention closing whole agency brands over the next 1-2 years. I’d grab the opportunity before the market floods more than it is.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
