Do you have another creative outlet for your writing? Like a novel, screenplay or anything like that? Make time for it, and put some work in on it even if you’re exhausted. It helps. And I know exactly how you feel, because I’ve felt the same way, but come out the other end - because I focused on writing things I could actually give a shit about. And then, my ad work got so much easier. Maybe i just learned how to fake it better, i don’t know, but feeling progress and confidence in my writing through personal projects made my assignments seem much more doable.

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded.
