Just got a new job offer! Comes with a $50k raise, bonus eligibility, and the opportunity to move from agency to client side.

It isn't my long term dream company but will allow me to learn some new skills. I've been looking for a while, so just sharing so that folks know there may be some hope in this weird job market.
