I start my new in-house job tomorrow. Any advice?

I have 6 YOE and have only ever worked at agencies. Working for a brand and being responsible for metrics and results is kinda daunting.

Plus the new job people seem so much cooler. Uff how will I ever fit in

Congrats — you’re now actually responsible for the business rather than just trying to win Lions! Take the time to actually understand what the organization is trying to achieve beyond marketing — if they’re public, listen to the last earnings call — because it’ll help you understand what your leadership cares about.

ALSO! You can make yourself super valuable by helping them work better with their agencies. The first time I went in-house I realized the agency didn’t suck… my team just gave awful briefs.

Agree with Communication Lead 1. You’ll be extra valuable, if you have more to offer than just copy creative. Congrats and go kill it!!

You’ll be fine! All you need is one to have upward experience on the client side. With people that give grace & I’m sure you’ll shadow someone until you get up to speed. Happy New Year 🎊 on getting your life back!

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay? The gap will never be closed to the top pay scale at my firm but when I decided to come to this firm the pay difference was about 15 percent and not 30. Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

All I want from an Account person is some kind of acknowledgement that what you’re asking me to do sucks. What would be GREAT is if you said “I tried to make it suck less.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
