Ethics Question: Is it ethical to interview at a firm that your in a case against? In other words, you represent the plaintiff and the firm you are interviewing with is representing a defendant. I can see how their might be the perception that you would "pull your punches" in order to not ruffle the feathers of your prospective employer. Thoughts?

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
