(Cont) agency but am a little scared I won’t like it once I’m back and are other client sides cooler, probably. Im lost and am wondering if anyone has advice for finding their way. Also think leaving SF would solve my problems

I don’t have the answer either. But I’m in almost a mirror of a situation, now headed back to agency side. Also a tad scared I only have a year or so in me. Like, then what?

TY! Hope it works out for you.

Hi All

I got a decent offer from a competitive company ( in my domain ) and my current company countered that. I revoked my resignation and got the team internally changed, but still I am not liking the work. The other company work is better as per my analysis. I am planning to resign again as the other company is ready to match( better in a few aspects ). Will this be a good decision?
