Know anyone who”s pivoted out of this line of work? If so, what was it into? And don’t say in-house. Done that a few times and always had the same conclusion: the stuff the AOR is coming up with is no better than my own ideas but they are seen as the “experts” — even though I’ve worked at some of the top shops in the country. Looking for a pivot. A big one. Love to hear any success stories/how they got there. Not averse to hard work. Just looking for a lower key direction before retiring.

I just started an online Masters program for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. It won’t pay 💰 nearly as much. But I’ll actually have some control over my job security. Liking it so far. It’s a 3-4 year pivot. I saw a post on LI the other day that explained why the ad world is losing luster.
It’s always urgent, but never important. I’m flipping the script on that.

It’s the M.S. CMHC offered by Capella. There are many others that offer something equivalent. For me it was the best balance of cost/convenience/accreditation. Good luck!

The vast majority of people I know who have left advertising became real estate agents.

Yep. Have a few friends who did that as well. Sounding like the market is not great right now though and some are trying to figure out a Plan C.

Hi guys, I have got one full time job for 14LPA from 10.5LPA in Coforge for BA role. On the other hand, I have one more offer for Canada and the job is on 2 years contract basis with 80k CAD per annum where I have to sign 2 years agreement as well that I can’t back out once I get the offer. I was interested to go CA but scared in terms of job security, economic slowdown and a big change. Is it worth going to CA on contract basis job declining the full time opportunity in India.
