If you’re a creative looking to land a job at FCB, don’t bother emailing Nick Molinaro… It’s like shouting into the void.

Best is to be recommended by the right people. DM your portfolio, I’m glad to have a look

K, I haven't worked at any of these agencies so take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but I've been in the industry long enough to know the general reputations of each place. FCB New York has a solid reputation for creativity and big name clients, though it can be a bit fast-paced and WLB is supposedly kind of bad, depending on the team of course. As for WPP vs. IPG, WPP tends to be more global, while IPG is more local clients (before the merger, who knows what will happen next). That's just the general reputations, so like I said, take it with a grain of salt.

I’m at FCB NY and I’m having fun. Like someone said, it probably depends on what you’re working on but in general there are a lot of opportunities and talented people.

I don’t know what Omnicom is planning to do but we’re in good shape compared to other Omnicom agencies in NY.

The agency has been making great work on big clients for a number of years now (Michelob, Spotify, Budweiser and previously Burger King). No non-profit work for awards.

Yes maybe ‘in good shape’ means ‘less shaky than elsewhere but still shaky’. Doesn’t mean what I said is not true. DDB, BBDO and TBWA are definitely not in good shape. (In New York)

As is the case with most agencies, depends on the team you’re working for. I will say it’s one of the better shops I’ve been at. I preferred IPG over WPP but that won’t matter once Omnicom finished buying IPG out so…

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?
