Sweatshop Austin standard or sweatshop NYC standard? There might be a difference?

Leave at 730 instead of 5??? The horror 😂

I have friends who work there as creatives and yes, it is.

I have a friend who used to worked there. It’s a sweatshop, and unlike NY, if you get out late from work everything will be closed in Austin.

It’s really bad. And not just Austin bad. I have heard horror stories from a friend who moved from NYC to work there.

A sweaty swirl. But the swag is cool! Right?

Lots of agencies are sweatshops. The question is, would you be willing to sweat for a couple years and make your career? If not, don’t bother with places like Preacher. I decided to do it at another agency, I added a lot of awards and gotten a lot of book pieces in a short time and I’ll take that to the bank in my next gig.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Hi all - Is T10 attainable given my profile? White male, 710 GMAT (45Q, 42V), 3.6 GPA from top 40 undergrad, 4.5 YOE at a boutique credit investment firm that I joined shortly after inception. I’ve received two promotions since joining, though I’m not sure if they’ll carry much weight given it’s not a well-known firm. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Need some advice. Started working at a small real estate marketing agency about 2 months ago. Pay is good but…It’s absolutely toxic. The CEO is a jerk. Some of the content I work on is okay, but I don’t see this place doing much for my portfolio in the long run. How long should I stay or should I just bail ASAP? Are all agencies really like this?
