Is this a bad time to quit and start looking for a new job? I hate my current job/workplace and really want to quit, however, I am concerned that finding a new job might be difficult right now. Should I stay in my current role until the economy improves?

Stay in your current role while looking for a new one. That’s the balance of the 2 options.

Good luck!

Job listings are way down but I expect they will balance out once we kick into the new year. These recent layoffs you are reading about focus on the engineers and developers, but these usually touch all departments when they happen, unfortunately.

100% agree with SLI1. You are in the best position right now. Since you are, take the job you really want, not the first one that gives you the chance to jump ship, as appealing as it may be. Don’t trade one misery only to get another.

Best of luck!

Hello 👋

After about 18 months of hustling, I’ve been offered my first AD role. My background is in engineering so for what feels like forever I’ve been building (and rebuilding) my book with creative work and it’s finally paid off 🎉

I want to hit the ground running so I’m trying to learn as much as possible before I start.

Can anyone recommend some books, shows, talks, social accounts etc that I can learn from?

Thank you!
