According to someone I know who works at Verizon who thinks it is always the agency that's not doing a good job. No no, theirs are very reasonable demands.

Yes. Although who knows if it’s that way with their in-house agency?

I’ve heard from a couple creatives who work at 140 (their in-house agency) that there’s pretty good work/life balance.

My better half is a CD who freelanced for one of Verizon’s agencies. They called him at 11 am on a Saturday and said “Can you come in at 2 pm today to work on a Verizon brief?”

He didn’t make it home until 7 am Sunday.
So yeah…insane.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
