Some are. But I don’t think all are. Saying this because I’ve received some copy tests here and there.

In Israel the high tech industry usually asks for a design test from designers. Creative directors are mostly meant to show their portfolios and discuss projects, but the high tech industry here are very focused on acquisition marketing which means the most of the time they would like to know that you know how to make sure that things like landing pages and websites convert well. So it ends up being more like a case study.

So I have recently joined a startup in the EV space. It's a SPAC, so it's a crazy ride. I interviewed for a top HR job, but they offered me a second-in-command opportunity, and I took it. Overall, I love it. However, I recently got an opportunity to join crypto-NFT startup as a top HR. My current startup is well funded, sales could be better, but we just acquired a company to help us to progress with them. The leadership team is strong, but a bit on the boomer-ish side of things.

Additional Posts in Brand Side

Most of my freelance work over the past three years has been cannabis industry related. I was hired in the beginning of November in-house for a growing brand. (pun not intended) It feels like the wild west where anything goes and most people seem to be winging it.

So much potential to do great work, but nothing I would show or be proud of. I did better work as a consultant.

Anyone else working on the Brand side of the cannabis industry? Thoughts?

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.
