i wasn't completely unhappy with my current position. i am treated well, and my coworkers like me. but i applied to a position a few months ago to this agency, but didn't get the salaried position. they contacted me on this new one so i felt pretty good about it. hopefully at the new gig i'll be working with great designers and maybe can meet a mentor.

it's all about connections...i'm sure it will lead to something better if you impress with your work

Quark? That's awesome.

I don't understand.... you're leaving a better paying job in order to crank out low-paying quark production?

i hear many designers, tired of the hassle of creative life, are moving into production work
- Production is degrading.monospaced

i mostly have production experience anyway. and this is a great opportunity to improve my design skills, develop connections, and maybe have an in to be employed by an agency rather than the staffing company i currently work for. it's risky, but i'd hate to look back on this and say woulda coulda shoulda.maybe now i'll be able to go more freelance too.

Good luck Jay. I think everyone is just concerned about you being taking advantage of, by what seems like a step backwards. But I think you the right attitude.

the position post listed as entry level. something i am not. i lack studio experience. even though it is risky, it has potential to pay off. thanks for the effort from those that have posted here.
