Laid off last month. Made really good connections/reconnections w colleagues and recruiters. Waiting for offer from an old colleague at her agency but in the interim, I may be very close to receiving offer for a temp role elsewhere that sounds exciting. Should I take the temp and continue to wait it out? I have a severance but also have expenses that include a child LOL. And I'd like to bank the severance. Any advice on navigating?

Hope this isn’t vague, do what makes you happy. Jobs come and go. There will be something after the temp.

Go with your gut. Also be fair to your colleague. If they’re pulling strings to get you in, you don’t want to burn a bridge making them feel like they wasted their time if you have other interests. You may need that connection another day.

Absolutely! That's also my major fear. My colleague is super solid. Great people!! I've been interested in her agency for some time now. A good handful of ppl left where I was, to go work there. I respect them so I'm definitely going to nudge so I can see what the JD and comp, etc is. I now have some other agencies knocking. It's a great problem to have. I'm just scared and don't know how to choose. Thanks so much!!

Creative operations by any chance?

I am underpaid in my organization as per my 5.5 years of experience. In the salary discussion round I said 100% on my current CTC which would be around 10lpa & they agreed to it. I think 10lpa is still low for my experience range but I couldn't demand more because my current CTC was too low.

I just want to know if they will decide the offer based on what I expected or they will decide based on what the market and their company budget is for my experience range??
