Tired of the grind lately. Need to start prioritizing my loved ones. Considering a change after years on the Account side. Any tips for a department with better work life balance? Or is that just client side ha.

Client side. More money, less problems.

Try a different agency. A friend of mine is the chief of staff at this content marketing shop, Codeword Agency… it’s not advertising, more marketing work but the work/life balance seems great… message me if you want me to put you in touch?

Could you message me too please?

I’ve done accounts at 3 different agencies. I could never go back. Might be worth trying a B2B agency as it sometimes is slower and more respectful of biz hours.

Went from an AE on large/fast paced accounts to a PM role. Different headaches for sure but not having to manage a client is so much less stressful for me. It’s been a nice balance 6 weeks in.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about. This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?
