Sounds super creative

Big Four is accounting. Consulting is the Big Three (also known as MBB: McKinsey, Bain, BCG). Yes, the Big Four does consulting now, too. But honestly, doing creative as a spinoff of consulting as a spinoff of accounting? There's...a lot to consider there.

A panel interview is a 3-6 person interview at a round table.

All I can say is that I’m blown away by the consultancy business. Guaranteed raises bonuses and profit sharing. It’s what advertising should be - you bring in money to the business - you’re financially rewarded.

I recall one of these at a “consultancy” in New York where the team had me ad-lib some concepts and lines and whatnot for two hours, they framed it up as “an improptu creative meeting” WTF?? They liked me and extended an offer with 60% of my salary at the time, and got totally butt hurt when I was like “eeeh no thanks”. Funniest thing was the recruiter who was trying to pretend to be on my side, so regarding my salary she said, “let me see what I can do (insert hand pistols)” She then came back with an offer of a whopping 62% of my salary and was like: we have great benefits and perks, like beer and ping pong every Thursday. Insert eye roll. SMH. Anyway, hope you have a better meting than I did!!! Good luck! 🍀

Strat 1...consulting was not simply “spun off accounting” and creative wasn’t not simply “spun off consulting” ...

I’ve worked for Deloitte (Digital studio) for three years and while it is FAR from perfect, compared to my time at two premier agencies in my city before that (as well as some little ones) I’ll take the big four consultancy any 👏 day 👏of 👏 the 👏 week. Both in terms of creative talent and how the company treats its employees

@ACD2 Funny that in the 2 weeks since leaving my post, I've actually found myself exploring listings for depts like yours. I take back the hate.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
