In my 20's, the first one. In my 40's, the second.
In my 20's, I had time for bullshit. In my 40's, I don't, and got a title that lets me make sure the people I hire in their 20's don't have to go through what I did with terrible hours and no social life outside of people from work.
The challenge of building something good from existing potential is, now, more fulfilling than trying to benefit from the work that others have already done to build that good thing.
Rhetorical question for the “over 40 in advertising” bowl, right? Which would you rather and why?
Correct
Stopping back in to say I took the 1st.
I’m mid-40s and still believe in taking a step that can set you up for your next one. Even if the next one is freelance. I would have been sad if I took the second in this moment. It was an intellectually fine opportunity but I admit didn’t light me up. It also paid less. Am I looking over my shoulder? Sometimes. But I also feel more in control of what happens next after making this choice, and less wondering what if.
