I don’t blame you. I love NY, but my most interesting work came from when I worked on the west coast. I feel like with our giant NYC agencies comes the pressure of pleasing giant clients who don’t want to take risks with their giant salaries. So you get a lot a red tape and watered down creative and exhausted workers. I know it’s not a universal truth, and some NYC agencies can consistently hit home runs. But overall...ugh.

I have been doing freelance/independent contract graphic design for 3 years, and I’m looking to take a position as FTE now.

There are a few smaller agencies in my city that I specifically adore and i’ve reached out/applied to open roles etc. One of them I even have a friend at, she has told me they are dying for more designers right now, but also so busy they struggle to make time for the hiring process.

Does anyone have tips on how to get past this sort of wall?

Also, how much do you give away? If they're minis, then several, and 1 each if full sized?
Do you give them just to the kids or to anyone who's dressed up, including the accompanying adult?
Why is distributing candy so stressful 🥲
