Hitting 2 years in AM this summer. Is it worthy of leaving my current agency knowing no mention of promo has been mentioned and often happens after the 2 year mark?

Ah I was in your shoes not long ago. 1. As others have mentioned bring up having this discussion and come prepared. Look at the original job description and core competencies are you meeting these goals? Now look at the next role up and look at that job description are you at that level? 2. Ask yourself if you want to stay at that agency?

Bring it up! No one will hand it to you, you have to push for it. If it works amazing! And if it still doesn’t happen, move to the next. That’s is the game

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
