I did MAS and loved it. Pros: a more polished portfolio that will increase your chances of starting your career at a good agency, expand your network with other creatives who can help you along your career path, an overall enjoyable experience that allows you to study in cities around the world. Cons: it costs money and requires a time commitment, the class quality can be wildly inconsistent ranging from great to meh, the school as a whole is a bit disorganized in the way that it’s run.

You get out what you put in, so if you’re serious about pursuing a career as an ad creative, then you can get a lot out of attending MAS. I personally recommend it.

So I’m 33 and just now starting my first Jr CW job. Seems like a good place and appears to have a good work-life balance. Most might love it, but it has me worried. I’m all about making the best work I can to advance in my career and I keep associating the best work with crazy hours and having little life outside of work. I’m all about the work -dont care about losing sleep or few other things over it. Just wondering about your guys’ take on it.

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Feeling confused-6 months ago, I was asked to help out with one of the HRBP teams b/c they were short staffed. Resulting in me working as an HR analyst(original role) and an HRBP. My manager recently informed me that the HRBP team wants me join their team permanently and asked if I would be interested in this mobility move. When I asked her about the comp, she said it would be a lateral move, so won’t be a comp change until year end. Great opportunity but know I will be underpaid. Thoughts?
