Happy that people are getting new jobs and offers in the current climate. The struggle is real.
How do the career paths/promotion opportunities differ? Do they have different expectations for work-life balance?
I don’t work in the space, but I would tell the agency that you have another offer at $70K but you prefer to work at the agency, and ask them if they can meet (or come close) to the $70K.
Does the agency pair new employees with a mentor? That alone could be worth the temporary trade-off in salary.
The agency position will give you exposure to a wider range of marketing experiences, which will almost definitely help you later in your career obtaining more senior positions and higher $.
Take the company. You can freelance on the side for more creative projects
