Have we shifted from an employee market back to an employer market due to the recession / inflation? My stress levels are at an all time high as the work piles up, and I can’t help but wonder if employers think they’re now in a position to push people without the consequences of high turnover. I see reports that the job market is still really strong, but does that apply to advertising?

I think it really depends on the department/role. Some roles are still hard to find enough qualified people to fill positions for.

The talent market is quite empty currently, I think people choosing to stay put as we head to tougher times. So I’d say for firms trying to recruit it’s quite hard to find good people and that means it’s still sort-of a candidate market. The challenge / result being offers to people switching end up a noticeable amount above people internally at the same level, so maintaining fairness becomes pretty tough. The next round of pay reviews is going to be tough, and is highly likely to lock in and prolong inflation. That raise is going to tell you all you need to know about how valued you are or not.

Yup. Power move by the companies

I feel myself feeling like I have to stay all day and go in for all the RTO days vs the flexibility others are starting to practice.

It’s started shifting back yes

I am looking at the moment and opportunities are thin on the ground.

Yes, the new dynamic is companies are battening down the hatches, so lots of hires on hold. So you’re right this does swing power back to the few employers looking.

Hi, new to this bowl.

Looking for a new role leading a PM and/or ops team. I'm an agency (media & creative) vet - depth in digital, crm, creative, tech, data, & process dev/deploy.

Have also worked ~4 years transforming / running ops at Kimbery-Clark's Digital COE and ~a year on web & digital projects at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Do IH agencies have substantial PM teams / need for leadsrship? I know many need operations & process enhancement.

Any specific roles on anyone's radar?

Thx!

Hello! I’m based in NYC and looking for my next role. I work in the digital strategy/brand strategy space. I have experience across multiple industries (tech/telecom/Pharma (dermatology)/beauty and skin care and I am looking for a Director or VP role (my last job was a VP). I would like to keep my base of at least $180k (is this reasonable if I look for Director positions too?) Would love to land something soon before we hit the holiday season. Do you think what I am looking for is reasonable?
