I stood up to my misogynistic, narcissistic, raunchy male boss who was insufferable to work for. I got fired. Phew, that felt good to get off my chest. Are there any agencies ran by strong, kind, talented WOMEN hiring right now?

yes!

Do you mind us asking how you went about standing up to him? I applaud your courage and in all honesty want to live vicariously through you as I’d like to do the same to my manager.

Tbh, I’ve found the matriarchy to be just as toxic as the patriarchy. I worked at an all-female agency, and it was an absolute cult.

Good for you! The agency world is so strange. It's really common for hustle culture to run those places, and the ones that allow that to happen are also usually the white male dominated ones as well. I worked at an agency for a short time, and I'll honestly never go back. In house marketing has been so far beyond better for my mental health. If you're looking for agencies that want to be better than that, I'd start asking around on LinkedIn. Message people who already work inside the agency to try and get an open and honest perspective. It helped me immensely to get feedback directly from the people who worked at the places I interviewed.

But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

Question re: salary. I’m thinking about accepting an offer at a small (4-6 attorneys) transactional firm. I would primarily be working on NDAs for clients. The role sounds great (no billable hours, fully remote, flexible hours/ can work from anywhere); however, the salary is $70K. I’m a new attorney, with only one year of experience. Does this salary seem low? If so, any advice on what someone in my position should ask for?
