Currently working at one. It sucks. Nobody pushes back on client, bad behaviour from clients all the time. In my 15+ years it’s the most toxic setup I’ve seen.
And these clients are actually nice people, so I couldn’t imagine if they weren’t.

Examples:
OpenX at WPP for Coke, MAL at TBWA for Apple, Dept W at Publicis for Walmart

MAL and Apple both “overpay” for the role. At MAL, for example, my understanding is that they get paid equivalent to a title higher if they were at TBWA. So a senior writer at MAL might get paid like an ACD at TBWA.

I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

Our industry needs to change the way it does recruiting. We make it impossible for people to apply directly to agencies. Relying on employee referrals gets good "culture fits" at the cost of diversity
