I know they’ve been making the most noise lately, but is WPP really any worse to work for than the other holding companies?

Honestly no

My personal opinion after two tours of duty at WPP is that Publicis is far superior. And it’s definitely a better place to be in terms of security at this moment in time.

^ would you say it’s mostly dependent on accounts?

I worked for a WPP agency ~4 years ago and honestly had a great experience aside from my last client being extremely difficult to work with. Moving to an Omnicom agency feels like a mistake, but at the time I thought all hCOs were the same.

It also probably depends on your capability. If you are a creative WPP, media, Publicis..

Hi Folks,

I'm in negotiation with the this data company (which is only 10 % over offered fixed ctc) but HR hasn't shown much confidence. They have asked for week's time & say can only offer a signing bonus. I'm getting a bit nervous as it's an opportunity I've always wanted!

Am I panicking unnecessarily? Should I hold my nerve? Or should I break the logjam and just accept?

PS I had just joined another org because they were taking too long to process + my dream co is only matching current CTC.

Hey there! First post here 😊

I've done a lot of self-work this year re: where I've been most successful and fulfilled over my last ten years.. I'm 32 and have been in sales, sales leadership, and business leadership (I've been a ceo and am currently head of sales at a start up).

All that said, I'm looking for some words of wisdom on how to pivot to sales ops, Rev ops, or GTM strategy. The latter probably being my preference.

References, wisdom, and general advice appreciated!!
