No make agencies do rounds of spec work that will never get used and costs tons of money in labor. It should be based on strategy and the agency’s existing case studies and category experience

Not hire two agencies in the same space and put them against each other to drive costs down and generate the best idea.

Make them explain their billing process start to finish. For some reason, agencies are garbage at properly tracking the money, even though that's all clients care about in the end.

Make it a fun piece of business to work on so the best creatives would want to service my account. No Monday creative presentation meetings. Mitigate crazy turn around times.

Insistence on not packing meetings or calls with staff. There’s no need to have 8 non-specialists participate at once

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
