Hello,
Last Wednesday I was able to get a Deloitte job referral, I applied the next day. Yesterday I signed in to my account and it shows that I applied for the job but when I click on the link it show me an error page. I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before
Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Hey Jiggles, get me some coffee.
But seriously, try working for a female CD. It’s so different.
I think Digitas has largely done away with this in recent years. Female CEO, and plenty female MDs, Capability and client leads. Have been here nearly 10 years and while there have been some cringeworthy examples of bad or questionable behavior in that time I’ve felt consistently supported by both the male and female leadership. all of the culprits of the questionable behavior I did witness were let go or have moved on and been replaced by a different breed of leader.
Plenty of other challenges at the agency wouldn’t cite sexism as one of them
It’s all about the smaller agencies where they actually care about the people and you aren’t just a number. They listen to your opinions and get you to where you want to be. I know they aren’t all like that but it’s easier to tell immediately if they are genuine and understand the importance of a woman at a smaller place where you can make a connection with everyone in the company rather than a place with thousands of people. But it truly starts with the owner and who they hire
KSM (indie media agency, offices in Chicago and Austin) has thankfully managed to do away with this as well. Female president, half the leadership team is female, half (or more?) of mid level leadership also female. I came from a non-advertising background and was very worried about the mad men vibe and have had zero issues here.
I started LO to give both strategy and women an equal seat at the table. Send me a note laura@lightningorchard.com and let me see if I can help.
