I created a custom post type called "careers" with a custom post type taxonomy called "careers_categories". Within this taxonomy I have a term called "featured". My intent is to exclude all post within the loop that contain the term "featured" with a term ID of 60, the terms will be displayed in the archive-careers.php and I am using ISOTOPE PLUGIN to create a filter for the accompanying posts.I would also like to have the "featured" post display in a hero at the top of the page. The terms are displayed as links and the filtering works with the accompanying post in the query below. The "featured" term is not displaying as a link but the post associated with the term is still displaying. It is important to note that the post that contains the term "featured" can also have the another term like "graphic_design" and I would like them to be displayed under the secondary term. please see my code below:

Try below methods:

1. Try by adding term ID in array like this 'exclude'=> '60' in array

2. If this is not working you can try with below WP_Query loop:

 $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'careers',
        'tax_query' => array(
            'relation' => 'AND',
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'careers_categories',
                'field'    => 'term_id',
                'terms'    => array( 60),
                'operator' => 'NOT IN',
            ),
        ),
    );
    $query = new WP_Query( $args );
