I live in Sydney, Australia and am looking to move over to NYC in the coming months and get a job as a Strategist (I have ~4 years experience, my Fishbowl profile is out of date).

At the moment, are people are getting hired remotely/over Zoom calls etc? And to be clear, I don't mean working remotely, just the hiring process.

Normally I'm told its pretty much impossible to get hired if not in NY (And still in Aus.), but I'm thinking now could be my chance. I would need to be sponsored though.

I’ve only heard of international hires for Strategists in NYC if it’s an inner agency network kind of thing, but never for mid-level. From what I’ve seen these days it’s a career move reserved for Associate Director and above.

Sorry mate, best of luck.

Yeah if you work for a holding co, that’s your only real option. Most require 2+ years at the company and a minimum of manager level to be considered for an international move. I don’t know anyone who works in media and got a job in NYC at the strat level as an external hire.

If NYC is your goal, your first step should be to get a job in Australia for one of the major us holding cos
