Don't. Take the call as if this is the job you want. Once you get the offer then call and ask those questions.

BTW...Just kidding about the “douchebag” question, just wondering if there is an indirect approach to assessing management style.

It can still be the job you want while asking the hard-hitting leadership questions. If you have to work under someone, you want to know: their management style, their work style, how they see this role contributing to the growth of the client and the agency, what type of training and mentorship they will provide, etc

Been in the strat game for over a decade; I’ve realized that a strong department with clear process that is built on end to end problem solving (with time to think) is when I’m happiest vs this award show / case study grind. What are some agencies you all work or have worked at, that value strategy as a department and not a creative case study farm? Looking to figure out what’s next.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
