I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter for a remote Sr. Program Manager role. I took and passed the assessment and was moved to the hiring manager round which was scheduled for tomorrow. I got an email tonight saying that the Director of the group decided that the person must be in Seattle. I am in Austin, which is not an option. I’m disappointed! The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?

Doooo itttttt advertising is dying. Wish I was you.
Same ACD 1!!
It will give you a different career path, which isn’t a bad thing. It will open different kinds of doors. I’m thinking of going client side now after 10 yrs in traditional agencies.
I’d totally make the jump if I had the offer, but I’ve been in the business for forever. But as a Junior, I’d stick it out and experience agency life for a bit and build some credibility there.
No. I wish people would stop saying “career Suicide” anytime something is askew from a traditional ad agency. It’s career growth. Career skills. Career mobility. You can learn, build you resume, network, etc the same way you would at any place.
My only caveat would be if you’re dead set on a certain career end goal but with advertising being such a shit show and tech/product design making headway and filling bank accounts—why not?
I’d take it in a heartbeat. I’m dying to go in-house. Agency life is soul sucking.
Doubling your salary sounds pretty fucking far from suicide. If you end up not feeling like it’s a good creative outlet, you’ll have plenty of money to start a hobby.
Do it.
You’ll thank yourself during the next recession.
Yeah because recessions mean every single person gets laid off.
To double down on what everyone else is saying — follow the work, not the money. But I will say <for me> moving in house at Wayfair after a long career in agency completely blew up my opinion of in-house creative teams. I’m closer to the business and a part of the decision-making in away that I never could be at my agency which allows me to do better work. And have a stronger grip on the integrity of the idea.
And many in-house teams are bringing in agency people to mix with the in-house people — helping them think less execution-first and be more strategy-first. You could be a part of that shift.
Haha, yeah that’s the one! “You got what I neeed for my renovation...”
It’s the best bad commercial on TV. Glad you didn’t have anything to do with it, but kinda sad that you can’t tell me more about it.
Listen to a few podcasts from Stephen Gates http://stephengates.com/ — he has a clear perspective on what going in-house can do as far as empowerment (the good and bad). If it resonates with you; consider it.
Be sensitive to the fact that being Junior means now is your time to try everything agency-wise. You will not get this time back. Freelancing and hopping from a tech company to an agency to whatever else would be more enriching then buckling into anything in-house. The politics will be wasted energy (IMO).
If you take episode 6 and 44 you will be indestructible. 👍🏼
Early career: go where you can learn
Mid career: take what you learned and go where you can apply is
Later career: cash in on what you made
staying at an agency is career suicide
Are you at a traditional agency? If so, it will probably be difficult to get back if you leave for tech as a junior.
Not a myth
Would say it depends on the company.
Depends what you want to learn.
Definitely depends what tech company and what they’d have you doing.
☝🏼Yup. I wouldn’t do tech in-house as a junior. Especially since the design of those brands are established it could make your book feel single-minded.
ALSO your expectations of perks, company benefits and culture will be out of control. I’m from the Bay Area and that bubble AIN’T normal.
I did this for a year and then went back to agency for a small pay cut, better location, and better work.

Wtffff what client gave you that much
At this young age yes. But it would only kill your agency career (well not kill but put on hold since the work almost certainly wont be applicable or portfolio worthy). HOWEVER, the thing about being a Junior is, maybe thats not the career youre supposed to have anyway. If the moneys really that good, its worth a serious look. Its definitely more stable. Who knows, maybe youll like it, and its really the beginning of your career not the end, yknow?
What’s the work like? What will you be doing? Is there a work life balance?
I’d say go inhouse - things have shifted and inhouse is where it’s at
No. It won’t kill your career. At all. Stop listening to people who’ve never done it. I went in-house for a huge pay raise at a start up. I was getting agency recruiters asking me to come back agency side every month. Got offers at a few. Decided to go in-house somewhere else at a place I’ve always wanted to work. Still get agency recruiters hitting me up for freelance, and to come back full time. But whether I’m agency side or client side, I’ve always followed the work.
