I started a side hustle that was on theme with the brand I wanted to join. So that made an easy portfolio piece for them to realize there was a good fit. I think sometimes it’s hard for them to relate to agency work.

Love this and the last point is v true

I worked in-house at a big tech company for a few years. It can be hard to find a FT role because they are few and far between. The folks that get those FT roles are usually CDs by the time they come in-house and often filled by the close friends of the current employees (go nepotism!). My advice would be consider trying to get your foot in the door on a short-term (3-6 month) contract. Those roles are usually filled by 3rd party recruiters like Adecco/Creative Circle/etc. It will allow you to test it out first and you can try to extend if you're happy.

What exactly is appealing to you about in-house? I’ve worked in big agency and I’m currently in-house but each startup or brand is very different. So depending on your interest and goals it can be really good or not. Happy to answer any questions.

Of course! Happy to help and discuss!

Look at brands or categories that you like.
Also, you may not necessarily find an equivalent role like say Sr. AD but could look to be in Brand Governance, Packaging, or something similar.

Can I DM you with a few questions?

How come?

Another way around this is look for agencies that work on brands or category verticals that you like. Look at PR agencies as well, those tend to be more niche/specialized too.

Also, does anyone know a recruiters to talk to?

“Creative People” do a lot of recruiting for in-house jobs.

Hi I have a series I (inflation) bond question. I have a bond that was issued on 12/1 but I don’t see any interest payments yet. I thought that they would be paid monthly. I am worried that I may have misunderstood the product. I understand the three month penalty but I figured that would be assessed when I sold the bond. Anyone have any advice?

I’m at a MM firm and have been stuck on mostly dental deals 1.5 years now. I’ve asked multiple times to have other experiences, but about 80% of my deals are dental, while new folks joining the firm are on other type of deals. Will I be pigeon holed if I stay on these dental deals? Should I leave at this point? I don’t hate it here deals, but I don’t want to be pigeonholed and hurt my career by staying.

For those with company equity or unit incentive programs, is it common to forfeit vested equity upon voluntary departure? Explained as a “retention tool” but essentially held captive by a payout since the contract says equity doesn’t fully vest at 100% until the company is resold. If I quit at any time before a sale date, I lose all of the equity that has already vested. This was offered to a few employees in leadership but feels like not that great of a deal to me. Is this normal?

If you were to hire an in-house digital marketing manager/ director, would you prefer to fill the role with a Google account manager (sales) or an account director from a midsize agency? Obviously there are nuances, but what experience is more attractive? Or would it really just depend on the candidates?
