I’ve been on mat leave for a while and looking to build my resume (freelancer so no job to return to). A very niche agency with a niche product reached out to me and I took the freelance project. I’m on day 2. Another agency that is more prestigious reached out today. If I get the gig with the second agency, should I take it? Or is it terrible to leave so quickly? I’m just thinking this would be better move on my resume after a long break.

Take the job you want. If the other gig doesn’t start right away give them any notice you can, this happens all the time.

And on the plus side if more prestigious places are reaching out, it’s likely they will again!
