I am a senior in undergrad and have offers from the following:
- CDP - Accenture
- Associate -EYP (deal-tech)
- Associate - Simon Kucher

All are in the same city.
Definitely leaning towards EYP since it seems to have best comp and work I'm interested in but wanted to see if there's any reason to pick another since I'm pretty overwhelmed .

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people

I have recently switched the service line from AI&DE to Cloudeng.. what will be the impact on the hike for next year based on service line change? I have 10 years of experience with 3rd year SC and my current CTC is 29L. Will they normalise my salary based on service line change?

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

What is everyone's at home work setup? Extra monitor? Etc?

And I know many will say don't work at home but there are times I can work from home instead of the office so it's to my benefit

Looking to move out of California, and considering buying a townhome in Atlanta for ~$650k. Any thoughts on the Atlanta real estate market?

Just heard FY23 partners at PwC are getting only 40 shares vs.60 last year. Looks like new partners are being shown the middle finger by Tim Ryan in favor of increasing stock price and getting more catalyst hires. Sucks!!

Hi everyone! Thanks for starting this group, Veronica and Ann!

Curious what the compensation / commission model is for US director reps? I work in Canada. Thanks I’m advance!

What is the average fee (%) for commission only rep ?

Looking for a docu style director for an elevated Branded / Talking head project. Interview/ b Roll style that can have a POV on adding unique shots/graphics. POC a plus. Subject Matter is highlighting/interviewing business owners and b rolll of their company. Let me know !!

Reps: do you feel it’s wrong to submit Freece directors for jobs over your paying rostered clients? If the lead isn’t a fit for your rostered clients is leaving the opportunity (and potential money) on the table the “right” thing to do or are you stuck feeling a sense of loyalty to the producer seeking talent?

My s/o has been approached for representation as a motion director. Commercial animation. Can anyone point me in the direction of any resources on what he should look out for in a representation agreement?

I’m a digital producer and have no clue what’s fair / what fees these types of production companies typically take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Reps, you have a client who you’ve had for less than a year. You’ve helped them secure a couple small jobs in that time span. They book a big job with an agency that isn’t a house account but certain producers and clients at that agency are noted as house accounts. The job came through a reco from one of those house account producers. Do you charge the full 25k commission, even though you didn’t really have a hand in the sale, and the client already had a strong relationship with the agency?

If you’re going to AICP LA tomorrow night DM me. Let’s make this dream reality.

Hey AIR team,
How do you confirm a company that approaches you from Europe is legitimate? I have a media company from Turkey asking me to quote some animation for them. They have a website, have given their address (which is an actual address on google maps), and have given phone numbers which I haven't tried yet. I have let them know that if we work together, I'd require 50% up front, 35% midway and 15% before delivery of final elements and they say they're fine with that. Anything else?

AIR is hosting our next Straight Talk panel discussions on Monday 3/15 on zoom.

Topic: Producers & Reps: Pain Points & Pleasure Points … where we dive into what works, what doesn’t, what makes the best rep & producer relationship and how can we be better partners for/ with one another.

Seeking freelance or staff producers interested in being a panelist. Kindly DM. Thank you!

Reps how do you handle when a producer requests reels from you then doesn’t watch a single one and completely ghosts you after submission?

Just read the sad news of the death of 1st AD John Nolan. (See wheresspot for thread) While I hope be didn't contract Covid on either of the 2 sets mentioned prior to his illness and death, if it comes back that he did, we need to have a long hard chat about what went wrong. Condolences to his family. Truly horrible news.

Hey guys I just lost the Livley job out of Davis elen. Any of you get it

West Coast and Midwest reps who actually get consistent food and tabletop boards, where you at? I’ve got a director with a great reel of mostly over delivered low budget work, but a strong client list. I’m looking for someone who is a go to resource for agencies with these tops of jobs. I’ve already submitted a form on the AIR website. Thanks :)
