I don’t think it’s ever a bad idea to take an interview! You’re not committing to leaving yet even if you get the offer.
Oh, in-house is so different. Schedule one on ones with other teams and colleagues. Get to know the business. The timelines and pressure (and lack thereof) are such a transition from agency life that it can be hard to ramp down and feel secure, confident and challenged. But really, don’t expect in-house pace to mirror agency. It never hurts to take the interview but I found in-house gave me the space to think, have balance and have a life beyond work. All things worth considering.
As someone who worked at Edelman for a bit... I'd say it depends. Think about what clients you have and if they've been cutting back on scope which is resulting in not a lot of work. If so, then yeah take the interview.
If you have one of the bigger clients and it's just a matter of getting you on the work that's available then I'd just continue asking to be put on, but keep a cautious eye on it if they keep avoiding assigning you work.
You can also just directly reach out to your resource manager. They'll put you on work outside of your immediate team since others are no doubt drowning (like I was lol).
Can you make your own work or pitch a project - or go interview your coworkers across the org to better understand the new company? I would love to be bored in Q4
Sorry I should say I no longer work at Edelman :) at an in house role (but couldn’t change my title on here!)
Oh if it's in house I wouldnt worry too much about it and still just take the interview. Doesn't hurt!
Take the interview and see what it’s about! Nothing is official until you accept an offer. Worst case scenario it’s a job you aren’t interested in and you get interview practice. Best case, it leads to a job offer that pays better and gives you more satisfaction.
I had a similar situation years ago and I left a job after four months bc the new offer was a lot more money and nearly double the amount of PTO - no regret’s whatsoever.
