I signed an offer letter and was moved to a different account less than a week before starting due to "work shifts." This is my first job out of college. Is this normal? How do I go about navigating this change?

It can happen but I would ask to interview with your new team to make sure it’s still a good fit

^^this. Flexibility is key in agency life. Usually you aren’t going to stay on the same account forever anyway so might as well get used to rolling with the change. Once you have a couple years under your belt you’ll be in a better position to identify and pursue specific opportunities

It is what it is. Go with it.

Yes, this can happen at any time. What it means is that the situation changed on the account you were originally going to work on (maybe the budget changed, or the work has been postponed, or someone else had to move onto that account and they restructured the team) - and rather than rescind your offer they have secured you a spot on a different account.

You can definitely ask for an intro to the team or your manager if it’s going to be someone different than you thought! But your only option if you don’t like that person/team/account is to not take the job… you can’t (for instance) insist on working on the original account or ask what other accounts they have that you might like more. Good luck!

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising?

But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
