I have an interview on Wednesday for a Senior Account Manager position at a medium size strategic communications firm. I have never worked at an agency, and only in house. Anyone have advice for what I can expect from the interview/how to prepare?

Get ready for faster pace, more agile. In-house is slower IMO. Talking about those points might help!

This! I think talking about how you successfully manage different workstreams/priorities/internal clients in your in-house roles will help demonstrate your aptitude for agency life. Good luck!

Hi Fishes,
I had 4-5 rounds of interview in Amazon in last 1.5 months, including bar raiser. I got a mail stating I am selected for position within 4 hours of my bar raiser round.
HR asked for a few documents like last 3 months payslips, ECTC etc. It's been 4 working days and that HR is not replying on my mail. It is fine or something is off track ? Any suggestions ?
Does they usually turn back after sending selection mail and asking for documents

Thanks in advance !

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
