McCann or anywhere other than Havas

like

Havas: you’re ok with working weekends and nights with no rhyme or reason as to why, in the office, and with limited PTO

McCann: you’re okay with never being assigned to consistent business or having a consistent boss. Might be remote. Unlimited PTO, but you will have shame trying to use it all. Layoffs come and go because no one stays for long.

McHavas. The new Omnivaynerpublic merger child.

Kind of neither but if your teams ever had to pick one, Havas. You realize McCann is IPG owned right? IPG will likely continue with periodic layoffs this year due to the merger.

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
