Thoughts on going to a startup agency? Obviously there is risk.

Be prepared to take on different roles without the pay. And you’ll likely be very busy. But, you have autonomy and responsibility that you don’t get at larger, more established agencies

Risk and reward go hand in hand. Cannot have one without the other in business (in general). You have more upside usually at a startup, but the risks are more. I went to a start up early in my career and it paid off. Doesn’t always, and I only stayed 4 years. If you are itching for opportunity & experience and upward mobility that could come faster for you, and you have the time to dedicate to pour your heart and soul into making it work - then it’s the right move. If you like the comfort and “Percieved” security of a larger company, and you are there now, stay put.

Currently struggling with lack of motivation. I’m in my 3rd year at my firm and when I started I was hitting 9+ billable per day before I left the office. Now, the saying: when there’s no consequence for poor work ethic, and no reward for good work ethic, there is no motivation” hits home. Over the past two years I’ve seen the opposite of indispensable employees. Yet, they sit at the same table as I do and make more. Any advice?
