Keep your head up! I just celebrated a year and prior to getting and staying sober, I lost, LITERALLY, every single gig due to booze and bags. It’s was awful. But the rooms helped me turn the corner. Keep your head up. The light WILL get brighter. Besides, who knows? Maybe this’ll prove to be for the best(??)

Sorry to hear that. Hope you have a good sober network that you can rely on. Important to reach out for and accept support.

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?
