Idk man. If it really is a dream agency it’s now or never. Weigh the pros and cons of leaving your current role whether it’s at a great place or not
Not a dream agency. Just a great agency.
End it now, they’re investing time and energy on you searching for their perfect fit and it’s frustrating to envision a person joining a team, an agency, in front of clients, configuring comp to make it all work only to have them decline or bail.
Thank you for your POV.
I believe some ppl are just too busy to be that proactive. The chances of an informal interview happening are minimal... sometimes it’s the recruiter that decides to discard your request without even asking those involved.
As far as wasting their time: it’s a bit true and not true. During the interview process they ask questions about problems and scenarios that I provide answers to. They benefit from those answers to a certain extent. As far as other candidates go, they just carve time for them, too. If they haven’t been called, they will get called after I withdraw.
Sorry, but the industry is already harsh as it is. I’m not trying to be “every man for themselves” but also yes
Are you interviewing as in "sent a resume tied to an open job"? Or interviewing as in "asked to chat with department heads with no explicit stated agenda"
Sent a resume when i was unemployed.
Same. I was upfront with them and said it wasn’t the time to make a move but I’ve always wanted to work there and would like to learn more and make a connection.
There is little to no loyalty in this business. Each moment is The Moment. Do what you gotta do to get where you want to go.
Why is it the wrong time? There may not be a spot next year. Don’t hang around your current gig for things that “may” happen. Things get killed all the time!

Any particular reason now’s not the right time?
Nice Fishbowl etiquette. Also, dont forget highdive, bbdo, and ddb :)
Take the interviews. You never know. They might change your mind. But if they don’t, bail before you start talking about money or specifics of an offer.
Pro
Unless you outright lie, you will be viewed as someone who selfishly wasted some very important and very busy peoples time
Yeah, have no intention on saying “THIS WAS ALL PART OF MY EVIL PLAN” right after the offer is made.
