Need some insight please :)!I am 1 year postgrad from undergrad and i got my first job at zenith as a media buyer & i just hit my 1 year!

Someone from Omnicom Media Group reached out about a media buying associate role for the PHD company. With this role, I would be making about 15k more than I am currently making at Zenith. I know i should take this new role, but I don't want to be pigeonholed into this role. I wanted to explore more creative roles. Any Advice? Also how is the culture working at PHD vs Publicis?

If you’re going into any specific media channel and not planning/strategy then you’re basically already pigeonholed… might as well make some more $$

What do you mean by more creative roles? You don’t just fall into those - it takes lots of work, building a portfolio, building relationships with people in your desired field, etc.

But if you put in that work - taking this job won’t make it any harder or lower your chances of successfully taking the leap.

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?
