Background is that I’ve worked 4 years in some boutique and mid level agencies and am interested in taking a shot at the “big leagues” so to speak. Interested to hear how you went about finding opportunities, holding interviews, etc.

I worked in a small/mid market for 3 years and then moved to NYC 4 years ago, it can be tough but solely depends on your determination to make it and your book

In the greatest city in the world... In the greatest city in the world... Look around, look around theres so many agencies for you choose right now!!!!

Howdy. Worked at an agency in Texas for almost 5 years and moved to NY almost a year ago. Long story short, the big leagues are overrated. You don’t produce as much as you think, budgets are not as big as you think, and clients aren’t that interesting as you imagine.

Living here is cool though, very different lifestyle than most places in America. I’ve got about 7 months left on my lease, as soon as it’s over I’m getting the fudge outta here.

Shit, typos. You get the idea though.

Hey ppl! I would love some advice re: my situation. I was in a bootcamp sponsored by my employer; afterwards I was assigned to an agile team. However, for about a year now, I've had to join a 2nd bootcamp, purchase courses on Udemy just to get better at coding. I've gotten 100% better, but I don't have much to show for it professionally because I've been pigeon-holed. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to stand out to other employers so I can get a better job - where I'm included?
