It’s difficult regardless.

I’ve been friends with CD’s, ECD’s and CCO’s. Never been a problem.

We always invite our CD out socially with us... the cool one at least. Not the annoying dork one.

Not lonely at all. You can maintain casual friendships with your team, as long as everyone can separate work and play. And then you make new friends with your new peers.

Cool. I was kinda worried about the day I move up and will have to be less friendly with my peers because I may have to lay them off some day.

If you work at a small agency in NYC, could you tell me what your monthly health insurance premiums are for families? I'm at a small agency in NYC and the health benefits for a family are almost prohibitively expensive, ~1,500/mo with a high deductible. Would love to know if we're competitive or not and if not, share that info with our HR and bosses.

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both.

Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?
