Who is your creative leader (CD/ECD/CCO).

Are they someone with agency experience? Or someone with only a marketing degree who is a self proclaimed CD/ECD/CCO. That’ll determine the type of work you’ll be doing.

The atmosphere is markedly different and you likely won't have nearly as many resources as you would at an agency. FWIW, I've worked in both and prefer in-house roles.

You’ll have more freedom, but start-ups lack a better work structure. Hence work can be very challenging at times. Also, always study the start-up and its potential before joining.

bizarre situation. Working w older male partner and younger male associate on precedent- setting litigation, super important to client. Client’s entire mission is this litigation. Older male partner and younger male associate are buddy buddy and blowing off all my concerns. I point out writing deficits, problems with our arguments, areas we need to tighten up and they see me as annoying and overly pedantic. Not sure if I should go to female dept chair abt this or just keep quiet.

Ok. I know that social media has made a lot of AAVE slang popular. I get that. What I find cringe is the obsession with using it 24/7 and the assumption that adding "lit" or "that's cap" or "slay" to things will make them do numbers. Someone in a meeting this morning suggested we use bffr and said it means "best friend for real." Like at least research the term before you try to use it.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
