Is it bad to jump ship to another agency if you know you’re going to leave within a year? It’s a promo and would increase my salary by at least $50k, but I know I want to leave advertising for good. I’ve been trying to interview outside of advertising but nothing has happened yet. I figured I might as well get paid way more while I figure it out. And the title bump should help, right?

If I’m wrong, I’m all ears.

Aside from allowing you to save up faster to make the leap, the novelty of the new gig might energize you. I don’t see a downside as long as you give it a good go and don’t screw over the new place for the time that you’re there.

If you’re planning on leaving advertising, it seems like it would matter less if you burned a bridge (although honestly if you explained that this opportunity came up that you couldn’t turn down, they’re less likely to be pissed especially if it’s outside of advertising). I say take the pay raise. You’ve got nothing to lose.
