Do you get severance or compensation from agencies if they let you go and you're at a more junior level? Specifically for agency holding companies like Dentsu and Omnicom

Legally, you should. I’m not sure of the exact figures, but the longer you’re there, the greater the severance .

like

There's no law for mandatory severance with employment at will in the US

Majority of employers especially publicly owned big corporations do offer severance, many follow the 1 week per each year of employment rule unless you're above certain title level

You should and remember not to sign anything bc you can always negotiate the offer no matter your level

Generally they pay out 1 week per year worked. And,, no, legally they aren’t required to do anything.

You should. It’s usually one or two weeks for every year you’ve been there. If you’re relatively new, you won’t get much, unfortunately. But they should pay you for any vacation time you’ve earned and haven’t taken

That depends on state law and company rules. It's not universal

I believe you should and do. Certain $ amount per year of service regardless of how jr or Sr the role was. Might even be part of onboard materials you signed. Read what you sign & ask HR

2020 grad M&A/PE Associate in LCOL area thinking about moving to a ECVC/M&A boutique. I generally like the work I do and the people I work with, but I really don’t like the hours and the constant late nights and weekends. Currently on pace for 2250. Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?
