Hi Fishes,
I recently got an offer for Cyber security advisory at PwC India . They gave a 20% hike on the current amount. Thing is that l, the technical interview told me that it is not a software/coding type of position and asked me multiple times if I was interested to do that. Is that a red flag?

What’s your career end goal? I’m not a creative so this advice may not apply, but it seems liked the agency job would be a good fit if you’re looking for variety and want to contribute to your portfolio for future “individual contributor” type roles. The in-house role sounds like you’d be more exposed to strategy behind building a brand voice, and getting to see the process start to finish more in depth (which may lend itself to growing toward a more senior role in the future).
Thank you! Brilliant thinking. My career goals are on the creative side.

Is the “lower salary” still more than you’re making now and something you can comfortably live on?
Can comfortably live on the lower salary. But would be turning down a salary that’s potentially 30-50k higher…
What does your portfolio look like NOW?
Thank you, this is super helpful. Especially since I came up a non-traditional path (from the entertainment industry, versus advertising). I don’t even think this agency wins any awards, just that they have a roster of prestigious luxury brands. But hopefully good projects can come out of that.
