Interviewed for a job that would be a promotion at another agency but only 7% salary increase. Worth it?

IMHO, it (should) depend(s) less on money and more on…
- your personal opportunity for growth
- mentors/managers you can learn from
- account/client that will allow good work
- agency reputation/image

7% isn’t a lot, but compared to all the people getting a lot less, nothing, or getting let go…

And opportunities are few and far between in the current market.

Such a pain to file LCA and amend H1B every time I travel somewhere for projects...sigh (working remotely sucks during this process)...

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Why does it seem like there are two types of creatives...

The chill one with the most relaxed approach where they almost come off monotone.

The one who has too much energy and noticeable anxiety.
