Which opp would you choose and why:

- CD role at a cool indie shop, guaranteed to make good work + grow

- CD role at a top AI company, more $, less certainty in your day to day, harder to produce work, tough unpredictable projects and hours

Cool indie for sure. I’m not an AI hater, however I’d be concerned with a company centred around a huge bubble. And the work life balance sounds trash.

I would totally pick the AI company. Anyone with AI on their resume is winning from this point forward.

Do they need anyone else?

Isn’t it obvious?

Opt 1 hands down. I rather have stability and make good work.

Picking the answer to this is as easy as asking yourself: what kind of life do you want to live? Only you know the answer to that.

I live in Trump's America, so I have no choice but to follow the money.

AI company for the money and to have it on my resume. Pretty soon going in house and into tech will be the best way to go.

If you don’t take it though, mind sending it my way? (Seriously, been looking for a while now and would love the connect!)

Guess it would depend we're you're at in your career. If you feel like you're done a lot of great work recently, it might be a good idea to seek a new challenge in innovation (AI) and get more money from it. If you're feeling burnout or feeling pressure for new guaranteed good work, go with the Indie agency.

Never choose money over satisfaction/fulfillment. Easier to say than do when you’re younger and the money looks like the same thing as stability but it’s just trading sources of stress.

Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
