WK is awful. The work is good and the benefits are good but they have massive layoffs every 7 months it seems. Portland has a lot of small shops that are really cool (but very “Portland” design-wise). The city is very freelance heavy tho, which isn’t for everyone. AKQA is doing well and always hiring creatives. RGA is whatever. Swift seems to be doing well but all they do is social soooo? All of these companies do have travel opportunities tho, so that’s cool. But the city is hella small. You know the entire ad community in like a year and a half.

Very limited. I just left after 2 layoffs in 7 years. Don’t do it.

I hate Kirkland for what they did to me. Got laid off due to intra-firm-politics at a point in my career where I don’t have enough experience to lateral, when the market is so bad for corp/M&A that even with experience getting hired isn’t likely with a Kirkland stain on the resume, during the holidays when getting interviews or even screeners is just as unlikely, and all of this without any warning at all. Recruiters can’t or aren’t helping. I don’t know what to do, but this is a nightmare

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
