Marketing has turned more into a science then art, and I’d like to switch to a more creative brand role. I do graphic design and lead my small company’s B2B brand. I have a masters in brand strategy as well. Do I start as a designer? I can copy write as well. I have 13 years under my belt and just hate my job (exp. in marketing, internal comms, brand). I need to be around more creative art stars. What’s the best way to switch? 😞

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
