Is it a red flag if an agency has a lot of turnover in its creative department, or is that just normal for the industry these days? I have a love-hate relationship with my current agency but don't want to take the risk of going into an agency where it'll all be hate, no love. There are nothing but green flags for the other things I'm assessing.. what are your thoughts?

I'd say yes. High turnover in a creative department can be a sign something’s off, but it’s also pretty common in agencies nowadays. If everything else is a green flag, trust your gut. Sometimes change signals growth, not instability. Just ask about why people leave when you can.

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity.

My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
