Hi advertising ppl,
Last year I finally got my Aussie residency, and I’m keen to get back into media roles at ad agencies here in Australia.
I know I might have to take a pay cut to learn the local way of doing things — even though I’ve worked at big agencies like Grey and Publicis back in Brazil — but honestly, it’d be a dream to do what I love again.
Any tips for someone jumping back into media here? Or does anyone know of any open media positions?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
