P.S. It's not real nepotism since they'd have to work at the client company (their parents) in order to be actual nepotism, but having the client kid intern with its was awful. Can't have any internal convo about client or their business or our business in front of them

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
