Cool, thanks!

9 to 12 usually.

People usually only look at the the first couple anyway — and then check to see where you’ve worked and what awards you’ve won.

My personal feeling is 9 is ideal 12 is the limit. I always cringe at people with 30 projects in their portfolio. Especially senior people. Be selective, show your very best.

When you get more senior, you might want way more categories of work in your portfolio because potential clients might be looking at your site. They often want to see you have extremely specific, relevant category experience.

At a certain point, it’s not just about looking for your next job, it’s about attracting clients and talent to your company. So I think it’s fine for senior people to have a lot of work on their site. (It all needs to be good though. Ideally, award-winning too.)

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
