I've got over 15 years of experience at agencies in project management, but I'm thinking it's time to go brand side. I'm wondering how to best make the jump and what type of title would be appropriate? I've been looking at different roles and it's not just "project management" or "marketing" so it's a whole new world for me!

See what’s transferable. I pivoted to the client side via freelance that turned to FTE after 12 months. Ever since then. Agencies don’t pick me. I’m happier & healthier on this side. You work & log off. WLB etc

Thanks, yes WLB is definitely one of the reasons I'm looking to make the switch!

I'm seeing some transferable things but it's hard to even search for a open roles without having a title to enter in. I'm working on revamping my resume too so just trying to focus it a little more

I have a great loyal local client who has me on retainer. But with the covid pandemic, they have come on hard times and are about to be two months behind on payment. They keep sending me work and I want to support them pushing through this. I have considered offering product trade out instead of payment but am hesitant cuz I’d rather have them pay me once they’re on their feet. I also don’t want to keep working for free. Any advice?

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5
