My recruiter contacted me this morning saying the company I interviewed with is putting together my offer letter. I'm getting out of agency life and can barely contain my excitement! :D

More of a startup, but been around for close to 10 years and just closed a new (not first) round of funding for several dozen mil. So they're expanding rapidly.

May wind up being a bit client side as they will be wanting to do a design rebrand and stuff with an external agency in the nearish future, but that's not the team I would be working on. I'm moving to a product owner/manager role for their web/ecomm which is exciting and challenging!

You're making a lot of unfounded assumptions off of the little information you have from this vague thread. Frankly, I shouldn't even acknowledge this with a response, but it's so incredibly off-base it's amazing.

I have not been a PM my entire agency career, nor have I been at agencies my entire career. My pre-agency background is in tech and I also know how to code in several languages and have been working on a side ecomm biz for two years.

A round of funding does not mean a company needed it to be stable. It actually more often means growth in another area. This company is actually very profitable and has been for most of the decade they've been around. They have a recent huge partnership with a major telecom company that is about to take them to an even bigger level. That's on top of their ever-expanding partnership with one of the largest ecomm companies in the country.

And there's a big difference between working half the hours (8 vs 16) and "working twice as hard."

But hey, if you need to shit on someone else's good fortune to get yourself by.. You do you.

Actually wasn't planning to apply anywhere until after we moved, but I applied for just this one job because they wanted someone with agency experience and offered relocation assistance. What are the odds!

You can always come back to agency life when the ad tech company inevitably fails!

If they're hiring an agency PM to run all of their Ecommerce they can't be that stable? I wish you all the luck in the world but most venture backed companies are intended to be harvested. Constant pressure to get acquired. They just got a round of capital, that's good but that means they needed it to fund operations. Stability is relative. Most eTailers are not profitable. You have to see ongoing revenue growth to remain attractive. I've seen the impact of missed revenue targets and it's not pretty. If you're working half as hard in the new job for twice as much money what does that say to investors?

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
