David&Goliath Not a question, but a warning. I left David&Goliath on my own terms, but I want to be real about the experience. They dont support its people. There’s little mentorship, long hours, and leadership that ignores concerns. talented people burn out and leave fast. Instead of fixing things, leadership does nothing. If your friends with David, you can get away withsexual harassment. Best advice is to know what you’re walking into. there are far better places that actually invest in people. D&G is not.

Is it possible to find a good exit in a less populated area? I don’t want to be near a big city — I want a house and a big yard. But every single job that would be a good career move is in a big city. Do good jobs in small markets exist? How do you find them?

I’ve considered 100% remote roles, but it seems hard to progress in a career if I’m not physically present.

Can you lose your job if you don’t like the animosity from your creative team and speak up about it ? Genuinely worried I might be disrupting the peace by saying something 🥴 the anxiety is terrible! Do I just accept it that they don’t like me or speak up and potentially burn that bridge?
