I’m currently working as a mid-level employee at an advertising agency, and I'm seriously considering leaving my job. Recently, I've lost two key team members, including my manager, who has been on leave since early March. This has left me feeling extremely overwhelmed as I’m now managing work across three different brands while handling basic tasks like finance reports and meeting notes for projects I’m not directly involved in. Despite being in this role for a year, I still feel like I'm struggling to keep up. I can keep projects moving and answer tough questions, but I don’t feel like an expert. Today, during a meeting with a senior colleague, I was told that I should have a comprehensive understanding of all my brands, from messaging to products. At 25, I’m still figuring out my passion in advertising, and I’ve realized that I’m not interested in the pharma sector, which I've been working in since graduating. I made a mistake recently by sending a document with incorrect information to a client, which was my first major error since starting. This has led to increased scrutiny on my work, with every email and project now needing upper management approval. I feel frustrated because I didn’t receive enough guidance when my manager was around, and now I feel like I’m being expected to know everything without the necessary support. A month ago, I was receiving positive feedback about my performance, but now I feel like I'm under a microscope. I’ve started to doubt my career choice and wonder if I picked the wrong path. I’m planning to go to grad school to pursue a passion that aligns more with my interests, but I’m curious if others in their 20s have felt similarly lost in their corporate jobs. I really wanted to love advertising because I enjoy creating content in my free time, but this role has made it hard for me to express that creativity. Maybe I’ve hit a dead end.
