Mate the bar is so low out there that it’s IMPOSSIBLE this is about you. Keep on pushing, at some point in my career I wanted to move to another country, it took me 3 years and (not joking) +1000 emails. This industry can be tough, but never think you’re not good enough, it’s just a confidence game

Ditto! So much competition. You’ll find the right spot for you. Keep looking and maybe try something a little different. Do work you like on your own for a little cafe or dog shelter. Just to build your book and keep improving your skills.

Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.
