If you're good at what you do and passionate about what you do, there are many ways to get where you want to be. I personally have my bachelor's degree in English Literature, and here I sit working at an ad agency as a media buyer. There is no one "right way" to get the job you want. Build your resume in a way that you can tell a story you're proud to share in interviews.

Oh yeah. Especially places with really good in-house like Spotify and Adidas.

Thank u! In ur experience, are in-house agencies much better at work/life balance? Hows it different from agency?

Depends on whether or not the school has connections to in-house agencies. Most don’t.

It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
