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?

Same experience client side - nobody cares about marketing/advertising when it’s just 10% (or less) of a much larger org.

Any advice on how many slides a ~15min tech interview presentation should be? I know there’s no perfect number but is like maybe 8-12 slides good enough? Context is this is for higher up like we’re talking Directors+ and they’re very smart in tech with phd’s.

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

Has anyone ever been leveled down after reaching offer committee? I was told that I interviewed strongly and was being placed at L6 but once I was presented before the committee their feedback was that since 1 of the interviewers didn’t ask specific questions of me that they’d expect for L6 - I could either proceed as L5 or conduct 2 additional interviews to still be evaluated at L6. Can someone share their experience with anything similar? I am being considered for both PgM and TPM roles.

There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks
