I'm participating in a selection process for the account team at W+K Portland and I'd like to hear a few things from those who already work there:

- What is the average salary?
- What are the benefits for someone moving to another country to work in the Portland office?
- On average, how long does it take to receive a promotion and move up in position?
- How is the work environment and the relationship with customers?
- Does the agency have an overtime work culture?

Do you have work authorization to work in the US already? Are you moving from a W+K office in a different country? If not, I’m not sure what visa you could qualify for as an AE.

I don't work there but I know a few people that do and they don't stop raving about the culture. They are all actually great friends that met through working there. Not sure how it goes for people moving from another country and what position are you going for?

The average salary here is competitive, and the benefits for someone moving from another country to work in the Portland office are excellent. We have a great work environment and a close relationship with our clients. Overtime isn't really a part of the culture here; we're focused on creating a healthy balance between work and life. Personally, I was promoted after two years, and it was a great feeling to move up in position and responsibility.

Heey guys, thank you so much for answering me 🤎
I am European and at my current agency I have the following benefits: 27 days of vacation, unlimited sick days cover, pension, health insurance and travel expenses (when you live more than 10 km from the office).

The job at WK is for a Brand executive: how much do you think is a good salary?! And what benefits specifically would it be ideal to trade?! Does the agency help with the search for housing for those coming from another country?

You should be getting all this info from the recruiting manager, not fishbowl. If you haven’t discussed things like visa, relocation, benefits etc…you may not be as far into the process as you think.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
