Hello! Anyone at the Brand Studio and/or could offer a referral for a producer position? NY based. I’ve been contacted by recruiters in the past a couple times but for some reason not getting through by applying online recently. Thank you 🙏🏼

Currently in the final round of interviews for a position at a larger agency, with a title increase and salary bump. I think it could really help me in my career. The problem is, I don’t want to be a producer forever. Eventually I’d like to move in house, preferably tech, but I have no idea what my game plan should be. Should I try to move to a different department before eventually going in house? Is it possible to switch things up without starting over from the beginning?

How hard is it to get an entry level role as an Integrated Producer in a bigger ciry?

Started a new job where no one I interviewed with told me I would be the only producer on a launch brand. I’m running 50+ projects by myself while there are 6 account people.

Do you think it hurts my chances during the job interview process if I’m married with children? When I was a more junior producer I was told marriage and kids would ruin my career as a producer by several older generation EPs—so, I’m feeling self conscious now that I have kids and am married and am interviewing. Is this true? Should I hide the fact that I’m married with kids when I interview?

Hi there, I’m about to have an interview at a large tech company (similar to that of google and Facebook but more software driven), and I was curious about what the salary range can be like for an in-house agency producer (mid-level).
