Hello All, I have 10 years of experience as a Project Management in Film and I am trying to get into advertising for more work/life balance. I have been having a hard time getting any leads. I have the CAPM and 5 years as a PM. I know film isn't advertising, but I have heard that my experience is transferable. Help?

I work in advertising. there is no work life balance, no unions, no overtime pay. there are impossible deadlines, sometimes extravagant swag and perks, but no work life balance. But yeah recommend going through someone you know

Going from advertising to film myself, I can tell you wlb is much better in film than advertising in my personal experience. But if really wanting to make the switch highly recommend getting a referral or trying to get in where you know someone at the agency

Let me second that! I worked in film production for 10 years and transitioned over to advertising. I get paid more at an ad agency in PMO but there is no work life balance.

No WLB in Advertising. You have a better chance of WLB on the client side.

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback
