Was told the gears were in motion for my promotion, but no sign of any concrete details. Now I’m getting hit up by agencies for ACD or senior writer on fun clients. I love my agency and would love to grow here but WWYD? At least take the interviews?

100% take the interviews, and if they are willing to swing you up to ACD, try to get a counter offer from your current shop.

I asked for a promotion/raise and they said they’d put the wheels in motion. Checked back in 6-8 weeks and still working on it. Two weeks later I brought them and offer. They matched it a day later.

Always take the call. You never know when you might need that connection.

Take interviews. You never know.

True. My fear will always be moving in this market and economy and getting laid off, but I also hate the idea of my job blowing smoke

Interviews also help to validate what benefits outside of $ are important to you.

Interviews 100%, clarify your value both to your current agency and everyone who’s interested.

Take the interviews. Can’t tell you how many times I was told a promotion was on the way.

Take the call. Nothing wrong with using it as leverage as long as you do it with sincerity. And make it your agency's problem, not yours.

Something like: I really like it here and I would love to grow my career here some more. But I'm being offered xx at yy, which I'm entertaining because of reason z. Is there something you can do to help me stay?

Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...
