I can't stand this work offer incoming from Vietnam.
Is this a market work spending a couple years in?

No kids, just a dog and a passport.

I know of people who have done short term freelance gigs as CDs in Thailand and a couple other places in Asia. Their experiences were good but they were freelancing. I knew another person who took a job in Singapore and was there for a couple of years. The work was not really portfolio worthy, and she had a hard time finding someone who would relocate her back. Eventually she had to just come back and find work and foot the bill, which was not easy. It was a great life experience though, even if professionally it didn’t do much for her career.

I’m actively searching & looking for a new strategist position since my current agency is mismanaging not only myself but the relationship with the client. It’s a dumpster fire.

Also - if your agency is remote or LA based and hiring, feel free to let me know in the comments as well :)

I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.
If I were to apply this thinking to the creative side of the ad world, what's the answer? Pharma and B2B? Leave the industry?

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
