Thoughts on boomeranging back agencies? I recently made a jump for a lot more money and the promise of new, big opportunities at a holding co in nyc but the opps were massively oversold, there's no culture & people have been quitting on a weekly basis since I started. Considering going back to one of my previous agencies (both well respected with people I love still there and both have said they'd take me back any time). Is it a bad look for my career/resume though?

are you truly a marketer until you've boomeranged back to at least one agency?

Try to go back. Omit the new agency from your resume if you want.

Nothing wrong with going back. I did it once and future recruiters/interviews were impressed that they asked me to come back.

This is all great advice thank you all! Was lucky that I ended up leaving the old places for new, exciting opportunities not having issues with the people or work there so going back has always been a thought just wanted some perspective

I think it depends on so many factors, and generally, it’s not bad to boomerang!

But also there were reasons why you left in the first place, I had a very similar situation and kinda hinted if they have an opening, I’d be down to go back. There was no role at the time, and as things were developing, I realized that while I don’t want to stay at the current company, I don’t necessarily want to go back; it’s more of my fears of what if I’m not getting anything else speaking. And while going back wouldn’t be bad neither for career or myself, I decided that it’s not necessarily what I want.

Can you boomerang back to a place that laid you off? Asking for a friend.

Isn’t that curious? Never take one gram of doubt from those btards!

Almost always a good thing. Shows that you were good and friendly enough to be hired a second time. And that you make great relationship.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
