About Gut, adding to the above, I'd emphasise the social part of the job. Even the senior senior people work on social. And as much as it might be better than holding, you are not safe from the worst parts of our industry such as headache inducing clients and lay offs out of the blue.

Gut no longer indie. So far still feels indie though, I can’t say anything about new york, still very small with not enough client.

But Miami is fast paced, no BS, nice people, cool work/clients… not exactly a sweatshop but a little hard to keep your boundaries depending on the accounts you are.

Most people are focused on do good stuff and feel that we have enough clients opportunity to do it without having to rely on pro bono accounts.

Most proactive ideas comes from real briefs (IG a social ask turns into a spot or activation because we push it). Btw there’s a lot of social stuff on some accounts.

No place has 100% nice people

There's a lot about Mojo on here if you search, and none of it's great. TL;DR: they over-sell and under-deliver to their employees.

Mojo shouldn’t even be listed with Gut and Mischief

Gut shouldn’t be listed with Mischief either haja

Mojo definitely doesn’t belong in this list. The other 3 are probably the best agencies in the US

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer. YouTube has lot of resources but confused on which one to start with. I have an interview this Tuesday in another 2 days.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
