I'm a SAE wanting to transition into more of a strategy position but am losing out to other candidates with actual strategy experience. How do I combat this? I do work on strategy that I can leverage but any other ideas?

Are you going for Senior roles? Not ideal but you may need to look a level down. If you have the resources, planning boot camp might be something to consider.

Miami Ad School offers a bootcamp in Strategic Planning. While it doesn’t replace real experience it would show that you are serious about getting into planning.

Don’t lose hope, I’ve seen plenty of account people who have made the switch, at the SAE level too.

Just play up your experiences with strategy in your resume and interviews, and let them know you’re not searching for any other job except that so they know you’re serious

Thank you!!

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love.

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
