Have you ever received an offer from a client you were working with? Did you accept it? How was the process? How did it go? Is this common in consulting? Do the client and contracting company normally have an agreement about it? Thoughts?

Got an offer. Took it. No regrets. Remuneration was double.

How was the process? Did you interview? How did your previous company react?

Yes, didn't accept. Client made approach after end of engagement but hinted towards end. Typically need to discuss with firm about it (in most cases no issues). Wasn't a fit so passed. Fairly common in consulting.

I did have an offer. I didn't accept it. And most firms are fine assuming you don't compete since it's a client because they want to preserve the relationship.

This is probably how I'll exit though someday when I do to be honest.

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.
