I do freelance. No more meetings. Wake up whenever. Great pay. But little security. Enjoying it while it lasts
After several years of working at general market agencies, I got laid off and ended up at a Pharmaceutical agency. I hate it with all my soul; there’s no creative culture or willingness to improve. Landing a job at a regular agency seems impossible these days.
The fact is, people usually don't talk about how well things are going at work or how happy their personal lives are. This could be seen as "bragging," and nobody likes a braggart -- especially if you're world is a bit more dark and rocky than theirs. People will complain when things are going bad because they need to vent and maybe, just maybe, someone with a sympathetic ear can help them with their lot to bear. Look at it this way: there are over 135 million full-time employees in the U.S. Go ahead and count how many posts we have in these forums. Go ahead. I'll wait.
I’m pretty happy in my current 3+ year role. I’m in house at a national retail brand working on social content.
If I still had an advertising ego (wanting to be the best & win awards) I’d be really frustrated here. But I’m happy because I’m just here to do the job, 9-5, with nice & sane coworkers.
I’m starting to feel the greed pull that I should be making more $, but then I remember how miserable agencies are and how cushy this role is.
