2-4 years from now W+K could never look bad on your resumé.
The name and the opportunities.
W&K down to 200 folks in Portland. Not a bright future. Damn shame. Move to Canada and you will take a big pay cut. Martin has a great culture - people are good to each other. Not sure about Mother - do they even have any clients in the US these days?
I can confirm this. Richmond became too expensive. Food is mediocre at best except for the same 3-4 restaurants. And there’s nothing to do. Do not move there.
If you have all these options right now… f you and congrats 😂
I don’t dream of labor.

Would go to Rethink. It’s run by some nice people and the only reason I didn’t go is because I was working on stuff too good to leave.

What’s W+K?
Waffles + Ketchup
Rethink’s been going through rolling layoffs for a year now, proceed with caution.
Martin does the same thing.

W+K, no contest
Check back in on us in 6 months lol. Things'll either be great or terrible.
W+K
Which Mother?
But also Rethink is the answer
Dont do Martin if you have a chance at the other shops. Martin is not a very international/global or exciting agency at all. Spent some time there, and it's actually kinda old school and as traditional as agencies come. Yawn.
Some really amazing people at Martin. Also have churned a lot of said amazing people due to leadership / not paying shit. Like you could bartend and make more money than a mid level.

WK easy.
WK AND RETHINK tie
There’s a big difference between Richmond and Toronto, one’s not “better” but they are very different. Where would you be happier?
If you are moving to Toronto for rethink, there are very few other shops doing high impact work there. Assume if it doesn’t work out at rethink, you’ll want to leave.
W+K, Rethink, Martin, Mother.
Rethink is still a Canada shop, and it’s harder to get back in lot the US market once you’re there. Unless you’re a U.S. citizen.
^^I’ve heard the opposite.
