So I have been working with one of the top 4 advertising giants for the last 3 months on a one year fixed term contract, it will get renewed for sure. But just because of the environment and work culture I started looking out and got a call from Adobe for a talent sourcer and market intelligence role, it's good but on 6 months contract and is a backfill of someone who is on maternity leave. They are not saying anything like extended contract or anything so after 6 months it depends upon business needs but they can't guarantee it. Considering I will just be leaving within 3 months from here, i wanna look for a role where I can stay long term, i am ok with contract but it should be at least a year or chance of getting extended be there otherwise it will not make sense for me to again start job hunting after 6 months. What should I do??

So I have been working as a recruiter in WPP and it has been really crazy, there is no work life balance at all. My manager calls me anytime be it in morning or late night for follow ups. I am so sick of it, I come from staffing agency background and I thought in house recruitment will be a bit easier but I can't do it any further where they have literally no life outside of work and expect me to behave same as well, should I start looking out for another role or is it same everywhere like this toxic corporate environment.

If I am working in a new city but can't make friends in the office, what should I do like how do you make friends other than office life as it consumes your entire week routine and then you have nobody to chill or hangout with, no real friends, why is it so tough..
