Honestly think I’d rather be unemployed than to work for an “irrepressibly charismatic entrepreneur and business influencer.” Thoughts on this gag-worthy job desc.?

The job is setting up Vayner in London. That's tough because the UK market is unimpressed by newly arrived international agencies (Martin, McGarry, 360i barely have a toe-hold there) and Gary Vee would look like a clown to most British agency people and clients.

They need to hire a writer first to write this job description.

As someone who has worked at Vayner previously I’m laughing at how much their think their boosting themselves up. There was a time where Gary didn’t care about awards but now they do & just want to be shiny.

Oh. There are posters on the wall that say “you’re going to die” and “money doesn’t matter at the end of the day.” I forget the exact poster but the gist was “work for free now so you can get paid $$$ later.” Nicer words but that’s the idea.

It’s not my employers job or prerogative to tell me that.

Pure speculation but my guess is UK advertising is super old school/white male. Like I can see a lot of back room deals over beers instead of a legit RFP process

UK is the exact opposite of that actually

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time.

I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.
