Eh… it’s a coin flip? If you’re favored by management, it’s heaven. If you’re not advocated for, it’s hell. Unfortunately, favoritism benefits exactly who you expect it would and is rarely based on merit here.

Not even that, mate. People flit in and out of prestige agencies all the time without making anything for their books because management doesn’t put them on good briefs. Then they get screwed over on the job hunt, shiny resume be damned.

I worked at top agencies. It’s political everywhere you go. But better to do great work at a great agency then have to put up with idiots at a crappy one.

i had a feeling this was correct. yes.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?
