You mean like this guy? Didn’t he work on most famous Apple spots and then famously got let go after 20 years of running the account? Is he desperate or on his way out or both? Not being cynical, just curious what people think

From what I heard there are a couple of good accounts that produce decent (or better) work. Edelman won a couple of awards recently. So they are definitely capable. One red flag is that I also heard they are there to put out clients’ fires on most accounts. A function that is reflective of their PR pedigree. For me as a creative, that’s a pass

Bring elbow grease

I’ve heard it’s burn and churn, but might depend on the office and client.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
