Work life balance is really tough. Lots of burnout.

They strive to do lots of award-winning work, so they expect their employees to be the type of people who will put their job first. Expect long hours, no matter the account. There’s also a lot of pitch work.

There are lots of opportunities in the building. The agency wins lions and pencils every year. You just have to be very proactive and hustle to get them.

Good to know. Thank you!

Cox is a high-volume account, with a lot of boring work. Also, FCB is a tough place for work-life balance. And you’ll get nothing for your extra effort.

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

Need some advice. Started working at a small real estate marketing agency about 2 months ago. Pay is good but…It’s absolutely toxic. The CEO is a jerk.
