Is it possible to get hired at another ad agency under the same holding company you are currently working at and is that a risky thing to inquire about?

And the holding company that owns both agencies is also free to tell those agencies they’re not allowed to poach people from within the network and they’re free to inform OP’s current agency about it.

A lot of holding companies make this difficult.

You can, but the candidate has to be the one to initiate the conversation. From experience, I was working at an Omnicom shop and was looking for a creative partner a while back. I knew of someone (but didn’t know then personally) who I thought would be perfect. She worked at another Omnicom shop. I told our recruiter and the recruiter told me that the candidate had to initiate the contact because of their non poaching policies. So if she inquired or applied, it would be fine, but our recruiter couldn’t reach out.

I interviewed with one IPG agency while working with another. They said they’d have to inform the other agency when they made an offer. Nobody at the agency I interviewed at seemed to care.

Publicis definitely doesn’t allow that. There’s a strict no poaching policy.

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!
