Anyone have insights into Wunderman Thompson? I’m speaking to them about a director level role reporting to a VP. About 20% salary increase from Deloitte Manager role. Thoughts?

It would be account management for creative work. Own 2-3 big accounts and teams. Essentially project/account management.

They say minimal travel, but I also know agencies tend to run hot. So thinking trade off might be less travel, but more hours.

@OP, given your skills in consulting, you could probably handle account management well, provided you understand the work they're doing and you know how to work with creatives in an agency environment.

If you don't... Yikes. Wunderman Thompson is one of WPP's marquee firms, but it's gone through a huge reorg/merger (JWT+ Wunderman) that there's got to be tons of churn and challenges. Also recognize that as an account management you don't own the work thr way a PPMD would at Deloitte etc. You end up having to steer the work more from soft power and relationships. You lose the inherent pyramid leverage model of a consultancy at an agency, which can make lines of accountability messier.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
