Agencies can’t compete with the tech salaries and incentives.

Kinda, no. IMO, places like FB, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc., have nabbed some of the best creatives out there. And I think being in-house for shops like that offer you the ability to make amazing work from the smallest social content to bigger budget work. The upper hand with being at an agency is the ability to work on different categories (auto, food, tech, etc.)

Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
