Thinking about making a move from agency to our state’s PBS HQ. Obviously less money, but also more purpose. Curious if anyone has made a move for purpose>money/prestige/etc and if it’ll be worth it, or just make me miss clients and their budgets and the craziness of agency life (which I love)

What’s the job description? You don’t wanna be writing internal comms for less money. Or maybe you do, fill us in

Haven’t negotiated yet, but likely a little less. Not gonna have to sell the house or anything but I know in the long run the ceiling isn’t gonna be as high.

Sometimes, when you’re searching for “purpose” what you’re searching for isn’t a new job. It might help, but I’d suggest digging really deep first. Find out if this move will be fulfilling to you before you make it.

Having worked for PBS, I would say replace insufferable clients, and colleagues judging you for the brands you wear and what you consume, with insufferable clients and colleagues who judge you for driving, using, wearing or even discussing anything that’s not 100% organic, earth-friendly or costs $100 an ounce because it’s vegan and sustainably made. All. The. Time. It’s like living in that “When you’re a vegan and you haven’t told anyone for 8 minutes” meme 24/7.

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
