Hi, you must be new. This whole "GO!" thing is *really* discouraged on here. Just warning you, because it generally pisses off everyone

Goodby is still best in town as far as agencies go. Other decent ones are Pereira O’ Dell, Venables, BSSP, AKQA and BBDO. Lots of in-house agencies too, at places like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Lyft etc that are probably comparable to decent-to-good agencies imo. They’ve hired some pretty solid talent lately.

Venables is better than Goodby. This isn’t the 90s.

Sorry, I should have established a clear rubric: best SF agency based on your unfounded, uninformed opinion. Also, logic not necessary. Ok, now go.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer?

Junior Associates - How much student loan debt are you and your peers in these days? A few young partners and counsel at my firm were discussing the student loan moratorium and most of us were convinced we could have paid the majority of our loans off with the bonuses associates got these last two years. But we are all old and when we graduated 150k to 200k was about the max student loan debt people graduated with. So educate me. What is the average student loan debt these days?
