Go where you can make the best work! The money will come and fuck a title. Also, agencies that make the award winning work put in the “sweatshop” hours...

great work will pay off in money and titles down the line, be patient.

What has you walking out at the end of the day saying " damn! We made some great shit!" You spend 1/3 of your life there. Make sure it's worth while. And if you don't care about the output, then get out NOW!!

Depends on what fulfills you more at the moment. Is it inside work or outside of work? No right answer, it's super personal.

You work in advertising. “Sweatshop hours” are just “hours”

Hi, I have a question in regard of applying for an internal positions within the company. I been here for 6 months and found another opportunity that I am very interested in that was just posted. I have an interview with HR but it states that if it goes to the hiring manager, it will notified my manager.
Should I tell my manager now or just until it notified my manager? I would feel stupid if the hiring manager didn't pick me
Thoughts?

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.
