What would you do? You’re working remote for an agency in another state, you like the people and the CCO. work is good honest grind. Nothing glamorous, not much potential for portfolio pieces. You like working from home. An agency in your city is hiring. They get decent visible projects for a brand(s) you and the world admire. More chance for sexy portfolio goods (more career options after too) but you’d need to go into an office again. Stay or jump?

I guess this also comes down to whether one prefers remote or misses working with people in person.

Depends if you want to be complacent or advance.

Sounds like it's WFH vs office. That doesn't matter to me so I'll jump.

Go where you’re challenged. Go where you get to enjoy being creative. Otherwise, you can just mail it in if you want to.

No judgement. People are tired and over it. You deserve to relax, take your foot off the gas pedal and do whatever you want with your time. You only get one life in this game.

Why invest more into this industry if you’re on the fence about it? You’re either hungry, or you’re not. No wrong moves. Whatever makes you happy.
