i’d love to see equity compensation make it into advertising. working long hours would feel a lot more manageable if it felt like you were working for your own benefit too.

At the very least they should offer small cash bonuses for everyone who worked on a winning pitch. Just toss everyone $2500 or something.

A lot of folks in advertising have never had a blue collar job and it shows. Could we be paid more? Of course. Does everyone in every line of business think they deserve more money for their labor? Yep. But of all the industries to complain about pay, we have one of the least compelling arguments. And as far as equity compensation - go take a look at any holding company stock. You don’t want it. Why? The margins in our business suck, so growth sucks.
Advertising isn’t a growth industry. There’s been a flight to tech / in house for almost ten years and ad agencies simply cannot keep up on pay. It’s impossible.

My entire working life from 7th grade through college were blue collar jobs. One thing has nothing to do with the other though.

On the surface, yes, you are correct, but there’s much more in play. Maybe if agencies weren’t so abusive requiring 60+ hour weeks we’d feel different.

Tell the players’ union of any sport that team owners don’t have to pay them what they’re worth b/c they could be working a blue collar job that pays less. After all, they’re just playing a child’s game.

They mean overtime pay or equity awards based on performance.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
