actually just left Colab and the relief i felt was the best feeling in the world. at a new place now and i’m sad to say that it’s becoming clear that working at Colab made me dumber. no pitch work, no room for creativity, and a constant level of stress that i did not get paid enough to go to therapy about.

i can’t say how the alternative is, only that today my new coworker described my mental approach to work as vaguely reminiscent of stockholm syndrome.

Stability? In advertising? What’s that?!?

Omnicom is super bad for employees but CoLab is an internal disaster. I also hear the client is building their own internal department so CoLab might not be around in a couple of years.

More stability would be where you’re currently employed. Riskier to jump ship to where you don’t know anyone.

General question, and I suspect the answer is no. Are there any employment or exec comp-related jobs in the entertainment industry? Or, are there any law firms purely focused on entertainment that have a comp/employment/benefits group? I’m at a large firm with a lot of high profile artists, but I’d like to narrow my practice down to entertainment.

Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
