Are exit interviews ever effective in any way? They are asking me for one but what is the point?

They didn’t change before, they are not going to change now.

Accepted an offer, but the day before another company came at to interview. They offer more pay, better benefits, works more in line with what I want. But they haven't given me an offer yet, I just have a very good feeling. If I do get offer 2 how bad is it to go back on offer 1?

How does one break into a big agency from a small one? I am confident I can hang creatively at a big shop, but I have a CD title with no direct reports. This always comes up in interviews and I think it’s killing my chances. I lead projects, but I don’t lead a consistent “team” of writers because we don’t have one (I’m a copy-focused CD). I almost wish I could go back to being an ACD and grow in a bigger agency from there. I feel stuck.

Does your agency do exit interviews, or just tell people they’ll get a survey/call and never actually send/ schedule it? If yours does, have you seen any adjustments to fix the causes of the hemorrhaging of employees? Or do they just exist to make people feel heard?

I’m trying to make the jump from agency > platform (not FB…more like Spotify or Twitter etc.). I work with reps at these places as part of my job, but technically their loyalty is to my clients (the ones spending $ on their platform), not to me, working at the client’s creative agency. So it feels weird asking them for a recommendation or referral, but that would obviously be easier than applying on the jobs site... How do I utilize my “network” without making things awkward?

Maybe the Great Resignation is happening simply because WFH makes it so much easier to job hunt and interview, combined with the wider geographical choices now available. If so, the initial crazy shuffling will slow. And it's no wonder the overlords want us back in office.

The hiring process is dated and exhausting

a. No less than 3-5 interviews. If you’re in tech, that final “on-site” is likely a test or presentation equivalent to hours of work.

c. The anxiety-ridden waiting game
d. The offer + negotiations
e. References
f. Background check

1.5 yrs experience at mid level at a holding company agency, working on accounts that should in theory present a ton of creative opportunity, but for many reasons that is not the case. I have very little produced work and that seems unlikely to change.
