Australian 🐟 - how's wlb in Australia? It's a long shot but might be looking at a potential move... Mostly within consulting itself though.
Looking for some general perspective - is it grinding till there's no tomorrow like in consulting in US? :)

American, worked in Sydney for about 4 years. Didn’t work in consulting there, so may be different, but the relaxed attitude towards “deadlines” and “commitments” made me pretty crazy. About the time I got out is when I had a creative director at a design agency tell me that my job (AE) was to yell at him until he did things....

Weird this isn’t at all my experience I was in industry and the consulting in Aus

Depends on which firm you work at. I have friends at some big 4 firms who leave at 6 pm. Meanwhile, I’m still grinding at 11 pm now...

Don’t forget taxes.

WLB is good

Whenever I worked outside the US, folks would have a hard line at when they stopped working. I remember in England when folks would complain that the delivery manager was a tyrant because they were being kept to 6pm. 😂

Chilled compared to US

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.
