If you're unhappy at your in-house and if you can afford to be an intern again, why not give it a try? Just remember to have a plan B in case it doesn't work out.

Would It be crazy to potentially leave my full-time job for an internship at WK, assuming they’d even talk to me? Feel like it’d open way more doors. I ask because it’s a dream agency of mine and i understand they only hire juniors from their internship program. Any other spots worthy of “risking It all” for?

@CW1 i could DM you. Would rather not put It out there at the moment

Send it my way too?

Why fixate on one agency? Test your book in the market first. There might be a step or two between in-house and Wieden. But nothing should stop you from sending your book there now and seeing what they say.

I applied for some senior positions at AbbVie online 2 weeks ago.

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage.

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level). I applied and they offered me the position, but are telling me I need to start out at the regular specialist level. To me, if I interviewed for the senior title, and I can clearly do the qualifications needed since you offered me the role, I should have that title. Thoughts? Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
