By “Int’l org” do you mean an INGO/NGO? Because those would never compare to an agency in terms of salary/work/culture/etc..

I intentionally wanted to get out of advertising/agency life for a while. Being that it’s in Geneva it’s actually comparable salary but I don’t expect the same type of culture or work at all. What I didn’t expect was no way to grow and learn in my field, which is why I need to move on

Completely agree, London quality of life is lower as everything is double the price, and you don't get much healthcare.

... an opportunity to level up and do meaningful work. I’m also not enjoying Geneva but not ready to move back to the states just yet. Currently making 90k as a mid-level designer and would like to keep that or be able to go higher after being here a year or so.

Switzerland must be the one in the top regarding salaries. Crazy stuff.

Germany has good salaries and a more flexible cost of living.

What was advertised?

That’s tough. I hope you can turn this around asap.

I don't even know what agencies there are in Switzerland lol enlighten me pls
