I think I need to make a move this quarter, but given the state of the industry right now, I'm assuming independent agencies are probably the way to go? Any recommendations for good ones?

I'm at one right now, I made the move after leaving a big network to a smaller independent shop

Pros:
No need to working about being billable
Always working on something new
Flexibility
Not dealing with political bs


Cons:
Lack of process
Not that many subject matter experts so you have to wear many hats
Benefits might not be that great- holiday time off or insurance might be expense

Oh I know that's what I left. No where is perfect

Why this urgency? Independent agencies are also getting tons of applicants.

Hi, I’m a Canadian PR holder currently in the US. Trying to make the move to Toronto in the new few months. I see positions at Deloitte that I think are a good fit but applying online without a referral appears to be going into a black hole. Is there anyone on here I connect with to understand more about Deloitte’s hiring process? (Recruiters I can reach out to, people willing to give referrals etc)? Would be very grateful! I have contacts in Deloitte US but that doesn’t seem to apply for CA!

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Hello Fishes,
Let me know if you're looking for job opportunities in Morningstar.

Can refer you for the following roles:


Senior Research Associate - I
https://morningstar.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Ame
REQ-028117 I Dept: Sustainalytics I Posting Date: 28th June 2022

 Associate Team Lead / Team Lead / Senior Team Lead

REQ-025489 I Dept: Sustainalytics I Posting Date 28th June 2022

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
