Need advice… have an offer from W+K. I’m not unhappy in my current role, but I don’t feel overly challenged.

My biggest hold up in accepting is that I think I’d have to move to Portland. (Dumb? Maybe.) Help.

I’d highly recommend it. And even if after a time you’re not feeling Portland, WK is great about office transfers so there are always options.

I have a friend who’s been working there for over a year, and she lives on the East Coast. They fly her into Portland for big pitches/when it’s important to be in the office.

I have two OTHER friends who also work there and live In Portland. And they seem to adore it and are thriving in the office culture.

Seems like there are options.

Portland is cool. It’s a tiny city, though. Not as diverse as LA or NYC. But it’s a fun, quirky place. I can see how it can get a bit boring living there for an extended period of time.

I’ve been in Portland for two years and am trying to get out. It’s pretty pleasant BUT I can’t handle how it’s dark and rainy from mid October to end of June. It just doesn’t work for my system. Try it out though! A lot of people love it.

The W+K thing could do wonders for your career. But maybe you’re already working somewhere with a great reputation? Also, Portland can be great, but if you’re moving from NYC or LA or London, it’ll feel very, very small. Where are you now?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
