Interviewing at a former agency where I was unhappy (not bc of the agency, but the account) and jumped at the chance to move to my current agency. How much can they find out about your past life?

This industry is really small, no matter where you go. Did you try to work it out and get placed on another account before quitting? If you have enough reason to be nervous about what could be discovered, you're going to need to treat your current role as the opportunity to change the story. No more fuck it and bail.

First thing they'll do is ask around 100%. Better dust off that Rolodex and have someone put in a good word for you.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
