    I've been headhunted by a competing marketing "agency".

    They've offered me everything i don't get from my current arrangement; benefits, better pay, etc. etc. etc.

    Is this a no brainer? Been meeting with the CEO (twice) now and it feels too good to be true, BUT it is true.

    Does it have QBN approval?!

    : )

    • If you've met with him twice and aren't thinking there're any down-sides, youv'e already made your decision. At worst, use it to barter with current employer?Nairn

    • We're working to formalize our office setups (my wife & I) as we worked from home, got jobs (out of house) and here we are back at the start.

    • 1) are they doing it to get you or to get at your current agency?

    • 2) using it to barter will (should) be seen as extortion and you will (should) get told to fuck off.comicsans
    • By all means mention it and see if you get a better offer but if you use it to ask for a better offer you have already proved how loyal you are.comicsans

    • @comicsans Technically they ARE competitors in the same way McDonalds and The Keg (Steakhouse) are. One is value and speed and the other is quality (ish).
