Thoughts on jumping to a small independent agency? I'm leaving a small-ish agency where I was only working on one massive account, hoping to get more exposure to different therapeutic areas and more interesting projects.
Had offers for bigger name agencies as well, but went with my gut to the small agency. Mistake?

Depends on the agency, one of the best independent agencies I’ve worked at was BGB. Had more opportunities there than i have ever had at a larger holding company. Trust your judgment and go with your gut feeling. I don’t think the size of the company matters as much as the reputation and if people are happy working there.

Anytime, ultimately you have to trust your gut. Every persons experience is different so take that feedback with a grain of salt since mileage may vary based on account. It sounds like you’ve done the research on the smaller company and if you’re happy with it then go for it. Good luck ❤️

It's a small place so I feel like I might be identifiable if I say. DM me if you like

So I’m considering to go back to school for my master in Engineering or Data Science next fall. Which is a 1.5 years program. However this current job crisis got me scared. What if I can’t get a job once I graduate? Will the job market come back to normal by 2025 👀

I feel like we’re going downhill. I might just move to Brazil and live with the Amazonian tribe at this point.
