I applied thru the agency career page and the recruiter reached me out. Wonder that means ECD or CD already saw my portfolio? Or she’ll pass my portfolio to CDs after I talk to her??

If it’s a decent sized place, I’d guess that the recruiter vetted you and wants a quick chat. If you don’t say anything crazy, they’ll likely put you in a condensed list and share with creative leaders. I doubt they’d put you in front of ECDs without vetting…sounds like a recipe for chaos.

Also means they might have someone in mind already (based on a CD/ECD/CCO recco) and you’re just filler to hit a number/quota for their interview process.

Likely the latter. The recruiter will generally screen folks to create a short list of candidates.

Thanks! So that means even though things went well with the short chat with the recruiter, there’s doesn’t necessarily lead to having an interview with CD/ECDs?

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
