Need advice: I feel like I’ve accomplished everything I needed to in my current role and that 1-2 of my direct reports are more than ready to step into my role. But there’s no clear next step for me and my supervisor is a very busy agency executive that doesn’t offer any guidance. I really care about my team and it’s time for me to step aside so they can take their next step but I just don’t know what mine is yet. Anyone else been there?

Following —- it’s very selfless of you to recognize they are ready for your role. Some peoples egos would be too big for that. I don’t know the answer though. Could you have a meeting with the exec and be honest about it like you are being here and maybe there’s room for you to move up internally on another account?

So I don’t work for a WPP agency but point taken from both. The challenge here is both myself and supervisor both work on the same high-profile client. I think I would need to find an opportunity and bring it to them with a proposed transition plan. But who knows when that would be.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
