What’s the experience of returning to an old agency like? Assuming your rep and relationships upon leaving were good, only difference being that you now have more years of experience.

Assuming you left on good terms, it most definitely helps your chances of getting hired. The biggest risk of hiring is hoping you don’t get fooled by a good interviewing, lackluster person. Boomerang hires are a known quantity, reducing risk.

As for being a boomerang, my experience was awesome. Knew most of the people, had a good reputation to the new people and I got to come back at a higher level, ready to go. However, eventually, the same reason I left the first time was why I left again. So, there’s that to consider too.

It’s good for morale to see someone we like come back. Especially if you’re moving back and choosing not only the agency but also the particular city. If it is a smaller city. You’re a hero.

Hi all - quick (and sadly really urgent) question for my excel folks. My computer restarted yesterday evening, I opened the excel file I had been previously working on this morning and I noticed the developer tab was gone. I added it back via the toolbar but now in that same file some of the specific commands within the developer tab are greyed out and I cannot use them. I’m unsure why this is happening because if i open a blank workbook everything is available?

How much notice do you give when switching in house jobs? I'm close to getting an offer but no offer for a new gig yet.

I feel very guilty. How unprofessional would it be to only give 4 weeks notice?
