I hear almost only negative reviews on every agency thread I read so I’m switching it up: which agencies are considered a POSITIVE place to work these days?

Every agency you hear horror stories about can be a great place as well. Different people have wildly different experiences as everything depends on the team you work in and your personal situation within the agency.

My guess is that the more positive stories get shared less often on this app. (If someone would, there would be mocking and dismissive comments anyaway.)

But since you’re asking: I love it at FCB, I’m enjoying the work and the people I’m working with. The leaders I work with are genuinely good people.

My time at FCB Canada (admittedly, a while ago now) was incredibly positive. There’s good reason Tyler was made global CEO.

All the best agencies with great clients, visibility, budget and work/life balance are also the ones I’m working for at a salary deficit and living paycheck to paycheck as a freelancer, since they know their worth in an employer’s market and won’t give out healthcare, benefits, pto or full time contracts. So there’s not really any agency I can think of, unless one is brave enough to hire me full time.

I started working again with an old coworker. I didn’t realize how much they hated the agency that we worked at previously.

Completely different experience. It really just depends on your team, your clients, and your briefs.

I liked bbh nyc when I worked there

Campbell Ewald honestly was a great place. I didn’t really appreciate till I left how smart and wonderful everyone was. I enjoyed my time there don’t get me wrong no, just didn’t realize how rare it was that pretty much everyone was great and so talented. They just have shitty clients that don’t make great work.

I've recently got an offer for 60k yearly in Hamburg. They're sponsoring relocation for myself and wife as well and 3 month stay.
Currently placed at 20 lpa with 7 years of exp and wife at 12 lpa.
And before moving she would have to put down the papers and search for job there afresh.
I'm also having offer for 30+ lpa in India.
Would it be a wise decision to move there. Would I be able to save enough and enjoy as well?

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

Seriously start the work in chaos and then later say “We understand everything is complicated in this project but it is how it is and we have to work hard to tackle this!” I mean it was you who made it complicated!
