Is client side really better for Black people (particularly women)?

The agency politics is becoming more and more draining and I’m struggling to keep up the front.

My friend there are politics everywhere, it's the nature of the beast. Having switched to in house, I will say the WLB and the longer planning timelines alone have done wonders for my mental health, which helps when dealing with the politics.

Also consider the publisher side. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc….much higher pay and I have a nice balance at Microsoft.

In house is so much better for all the reasons listed above but also I've found in house HR to be more on top of the blatant racism I experienced at shops like GSP and Droga

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much. I’m currently interviewing with a couple of other companies that are amazing and would be my too choices. However, I’m very early in the process so it will probably take a month or so to get to the offer stage with them. I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.
