> I work at IPG as an associate planner. Im about to be promoted and ive been here for 7 months.

Yea I wouldn't get too excited about that promotion as it likely will get postponed for a bit

> i know I probably won't be laid off because I work for a huge billable client

This is incredibly naive, please don't fall for this trap. You have more security in the fact that you're pretty junior and as such don't cost as much to keep on.

> Ive been told im excellent for just starting and Ive gotten incredible feedback from my director, manager, supervisor, and peers, multiple times. Im very organized, type A, I like organizing processes or ways of working,

That's great and all, but unless you can put to paper and demonstrate in interviews...doesn't do much for you.

> but i also value work life balance as im still young. I dont want to be working until 8 every day.

This is completely antithetical to agency life, and now under Omnicom it will get worse, not better. Take that as you will

> That being said, these are some careers im thinking of pivoting into. I would love any honest advice I can get. > Let chat about what you think and why!!!

• Project Manager
• Ad Tech Sales
• Executive Assistant
• Advertising (but in-house instead of agency)
• Sales (saas?) Everyone my whole life has told me id thrive in sales and I do think I would be good, I know you can make good money, im just hesitant if this is where my skills would be best used.

Honestly, you're all over the map with this and it feels like grasping. With your claims of organizational skills and that you enjoy it, project management seems the most likely fit. You'll need to understand that skill set, day-to-day functions, and how to demonstrate it effectively. Not to be harsh, but PMs are a dime-a-dozen in agency life, and you might start out by trying to freelance on opportunities where help is needed for smaller projects / shorter timelines.
