Certain agencies on your resume can immediately give you street cred. Back in the day, either a Goodby or a W+K would get you hired anywhere else you might want. (WK still it seems). Do either AKQA or R/GA have any of that power now? And if so, which more so?

What ACD 2 said. Most people who leave R/GA go in-house at big tech companies. You work with big tech clients here and make innovative work. It can be a career stepping stone.

If you want to work for any FANNG company R/GA will look good. The best of the best go that route.

Hard no for AKQA.
R/GA: Soft no

The answer to that is fairly self evident. The better the work and the better the reputation, the more the street cred. I’m confident you can connect the dots from there...

R/ga over akqa

How do you tow the fine line between sticking up for yourself and not talking back to a partner?

However, I don’t want to piss anyone off, especially if I have read the situation incorrectly.
