POLL: After a long summer of unemployment & rejection letters, you finally get 2 offers. Both have appeal for different reasons. Which would you pick, assuming money wasn’t a factor? Thanks for choosing by liking A or B below. A= a Creative Lead job on an a beautiful tropical island (English speaking, but cultural adventure) where the work/industry was much less developed, or B= a Creative lead job in a new-to-you US city you also liked where the work and teams were much more advanced/skilled?

If you don’t take the one on the island, can you please put in a good word for me? Thanks!

The best part of A is that you will have the opportunity to make a dent in the world. Doing something in Industries that don’t know what they’re doing is how you make a name for yourself. In B it’s going to be comfortable, the process is already going to be outlined, and you’re going to be a cog in the machine.
If you don’t know how the other cogs work or how to build the machine from scratch yet, you might need more experience in B

On the plus side. This won’t be your first time being exposed to both A and B. So whatever you pick will be a learning experience for you.
