New Zealand!!! Working holiday visa supports you for 6 months at a single employer, 1 year max. It's cheap and only available for under 30s. Plus, they speak English

I've worked in New Zealand, Australia and London. All are seeking decent talent!! Not sure with the visa situation as I don't know what country you are from, but I've gone through the sponsoring process for an exec from Chile moving to Australia before. It's lengthy but worth it for the right people. All have amazing lifestyles and people too

To work in US you should aim to get an O1 visa. It's hard to get an H1B now. To get an O1 you need awards from recognized award shows, press articles about your work and reco letters from your superiors or co-workers in the business. If you have these 3 then you have a high chance of getting it. How do you get them ? Shameless networking, I did Miami Ad School so that helped me with networking a lot. To garner overseas interest I would say Awards is a must and good luck. If you really want to increase your chances find the creative director you want to work under stalk the hell out of him, impress him and hope to the Lord his agency is hiring.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Found out my interview this week will be with PMs of different levels so they can decide who wants me on their team, but recruiter won’t give me any specifics on client/brand, print or digital, etc...

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative? I know plenty of smart account people, strategists, data analysts etc. who would almost certainly make more money and enjoy more autonomy in a different field, or at least in-house. What’s the allure if you don’t represent the product?
