I left an omnicom agency for a Publicis one. My new benefits cost me 250 a paycheck (medical, dental, vision) for my spouse and kids. At omnicom it was 630 per check. That’s fuckin robbery right there.

Publicis benefits are the best out of the holdings from previous threads.

All benefits: publicisconnections.com
Cheap and good health dental eye insurance. That’s the primary one. Great fertility. Good 401k. Extra stuff in the year- health and wellness, commuter benefit the last 3 months. While I am suspicious of unlimited PTO we also get a lot of office closed days which is so nice (just had 3 days off for memorial). I’m going to take 30 days total this year plus office closed.

Just made this same move! I originally went from Publicis to Omnicom and was shocked how much more expensive it was. Very happy to be back.

Yeah, first time I worked for an OMC agency the benefits were the best in the industry - even 401k was strong. I went to Publicis and didn't think much of it because the benefits were pretty similar. But when I went back to OMC years later it was a whole 'nother story. They're shockingly bad, and the whole industry now is trending down.

WOW. That is insane!!!

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
