If he was a killer, then he’d still be there. Holding companies are the Wild West. Kill or be killed. He would of been on nearly $1Million dollars per year.

You have to be able to do the work and the politics. I know for a fact that when i become CD or ECD I will have to be a 🐍, my agency chairman has lasted over 40 years in the business. He’s a multi-millionaire. He’s good at his job. He’s also very good at playing the game.

Survival of the fittest.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
