Interviewed at my forever dream agency two months ago. Finally heard back. “We are trying to find a home for you”. Stay hopeful or move on?

Both. Not a cop-out answer. Stay hopeful, but if you are trying to escape a bad agency keep looking.

Agreed. Keep your options open.

Thank you! Not the first time people don’t know where I belong, often a wild card, too much experience or not enough.

Thats pretty positive. Keep in touch. When they get a new piece of biz, it sounds like you’ll be the first person they call.

Dont count on them but stay open. And when they do offer you something, ask for 20% more money

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke.

The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.
