Your mileage will vary wildly depending on what client you’re on & what your specific teams energy is like. That’ll make or break your experience at any hold co.

All large holdcos are going to be toxic at the corporate level. Individual accounts and teams however can be lovely.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
