Anyone else ever interview for roles outside of, but connected to, what you do at your agency, and realise that basically everywhere outside of an advertising agency seems to value you more? 😂

That’s just because people outside of advertising lack mental defenses against advertising and are therefore more susceptible to your self-marketing.

I took a copywriter role at an ad tech company. The job was writing digital scripts for brands, pre roll and premium publisher content, stuff like that. What I found was, when the core product is the tech, nobody really gives a shit about the creative. That’s my warning—do you think you can be ok with work that’s probably below your standards?

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
